OPEN CALL IS NOW CLOSED!
It’s April 1st 2020. You’ve likely been in confinement from anywhere between ten days to eight weeks. Where we’re based in Barcelona, today is our 20th day in lock-down. How is everyone holding up?
We are social animals and confinement and isolation are difficult to handle. For this reason, we're sending you good vibes and inspiration to be creative while in confinement. We want to virtually connect, create together, and keep on making!
FrikiFish introduces the Confinement Chronicle—an online exhibition to share our collective experiences through art.
Open Call For Submissions to an Online Exhibition
We’re offering a new opportunity for artists to reflect on the current global economic, political, and social situation through the arts. Artistic proposals can be related to the following themes:
Confinement

A new paradigm
Submission to the Confinement Chronicle Open Call is FREE to enter and open to artists over the age of 18 of any nationality. Visual artwork in the following mediums will be considered: photography, painting, drawing, illustration, digital art, collage, mixed media and sculpture.
Selected artists will be presented in a collective online exhibition on FrikiFish.com and with a virtual exhibition on our Instagram. Selected Barcelona-based artists based will also be invited for a feature in our online magazine and newsletter.
