Quiet Interruption – Open Call
September 5 | Submission Deadline | Woodward Contemporary | Artists Working Across Media

What happens when something quiet interrupts the ordinary? Quiet Interruption invites artists to explore subtle moments that shift our attention—a pause, a shadow, a small disturbance, an unexpected encounter, or something nearly overlooked. Artists are encouraged to submit work that inspires reflection, curiosity, discovery, or surprise, whether intimate or monumental, permanent or temporary, material or ephemeral. The exhibition welcomes approaches engaging with space, light, sound, movement, nature, memory, absence, and the everyday.
