Union Street Gallery is looking for art that embraces the aesthetic of street art and animals. Submitted work should be created in a street art aesthetic or be inspired by street art. Artwork submitted for this exhibition can be created in any medium.

The show’s title: Hide & Reveal refers to the anonymity associated with street art. Artists often hide their legal identity, while revealing their artistic identity through monikers, characters, and repeated imagery. Animals are a reoccurring theme for some street artists. When considering work to submit, animals and street aesthetic can be boldly or subtly informing the work. Additionally, the role of social commentary or critique (often found in street art) is also welcome, but not required.

Submissions are due March 12, 2016 by 11:59pm.
