Virtual Call for Art: Adhesive Resistance, juried by Courtney Nzeribe

Woman Made Gallery (WMG) invites women and nonbinary artists to submit work for Adhesive Resistance. This exhibition seeks work that embraces experimentation, cultural commentary, humor, urgency, and the democratic spirit of DIY publishing. It welcomes polished work and beautiful roughness alike—seeking submissions that communicate boldly, challenge convention, and understand that small, reproducible objects can carry powerful ideas into the world.

This show is open to all printed matter, stickers, zines, pins, buttons, etc. Sticker designs can be submitted as individual designs or sheets. This virtual exhibition will be hosted on the Woman Made Gallery website and promoted across our social media.
