Surface 2

Surface 2 is an international group exhibition hosted by NxEra Art Gallery in Manhattan, New York, running from November 19 to 25, 2026. The curatorial theme investigates the visible and invisible layers that shape identity, memory, materiality, and perception, welcoming works that address identity, memory, transformation, materiality, psychological landscapes, and social narratives. Artists of any discipline—including painting, sculpture, photography, mixed media, textile, digital, video, and experimental practices—are invited to apply, with both emerging and established creators encouraged. Submissions are accepted worldwide and are free to apply, though participation fees apply per artwork: USD 500 for each physical artwork exhibited in the gallery, and USD 50 for each digital artwork (minimum two). Accepted artists receive exhibition of their work in the gallery, a dedicated artist page on the NxEra website for one year, social media promotion, and a digital certificate of participation. Applications close on November 11, 2026, with curatorial review completed within 2–3 business days. The call includes links to the application form and terms & conditions.
