Call for Artists – Winter 2024

About ATTG:

Art Through the Glass is an initiative that revitalizes how we experience art in our communities. We transformed unoccupied commercial spaces into vibrant galleries, inviting guests to step into a world where the boundaries of traditional art spaces dissolve. Art Through the Glass strives to create an inclusive space where art is accessible to all, breaking down barriers between artist and audience, and making the transformative power of creativity available to everyone.

Theme: Unity in the Time of Uncertainty

In a world rife with uncertainty—marked by political upheavals, social tensions, and environmental crises—art has a unique power to transcend boundaries, reminding us of our shared humanity. “Unity in the Time of Uncertainty” calls on artists to create works that embody resilience, inclusivity, and compassion in response to the challenges of our times. Art becomes not only a reflection of our complex reality but also an invitation to imagine new possibilities.

Through our creativity, we craft safe spaces for authenticity, spaces where people from all backgrounds can come together, finding solace and solidarity. In our diversity lies our strength, and in our unity, we discover hope. 

In responding to this theme, consider submitting work on how art can bring forth messages of empathy and inspire viewers to see beyond what separates us. 

ATTG is possible with the support of San Diego Art Society, enVision Broadway and Cr34tive Gatherings, curated by Yvette Roman and Julio Martha

OUR INITIATIVE

The San Diego Art Society’s “Art Through The Glass” initiative transforms storefront windows into vibrant galleries, creating a unique platform for local artists to showcase their creativity in high-traffic areas throughout San Diego. This innovative approach supports artists by providing unprecedented exposure, engages the community by making art accessible to everyone, beautifies our urban landscape, and potentially boosts the local economy.

We believe art should be an integral part of our everyday environment, not confined to gallery walls. “Art Through The Glass” brings this vision to life, enriching the daily experiences of San Diego residents and visitors alike.

PROMOTING DIVERSITY AND INCLUSIVITY

At the San Diego Art Society, we’re committed to fostering a more inclusive and diverse art world. “Art Through The Glass” celebrates the multifaceted artistic voices within our community. We actively seek out and showcase artists from various backgrounds, ensuring our displays reflect San Diego’s rich cultural tapestry. By presenting art in public spaces, we remove traditional barriers to art appreciation. We embrace a wide range of artistic expressions, from traditional to contemporary, ensuring diverse artistic voices are heard and seen.

This initiative aims to spark conversations about art, culture, and society, fostering understanding and appreciation of different perspectives. Through these public displays, we create educational opportunities, offering information about the artists and their work. “Art Through The Glass” strives to create a more inclusive art scene that truly represents and resonates with our entire community.

ART HAS THE POWER TO INSPIRE

At the San Diego Art Society, we firmly believe in the transformative power of art to inspire positive social change. By providing local artists with a prominent platform to share their unique perspectives, we aim to break down barriers and foster a deeper sense of connection within our community.

These storefront galleries become catalysts for important conversations, encouraging empathy and understanding among our diverse community members. As viewers engage with the artwork, they’re exposed to new ideas, experiences, and worldviews, potentially challenging their own perceptions and inspiring personal growth. We believe that this increased awareness and appreciation for different perspectives can ripple outward, contributing to a more inclusive, empathetic, and united San Diego.
