The Concept

What does it mean for art to be temporary? Ephemera invites artists to explore the beauty of "things that exist, are used, or are enjoyed for only a short time." In a world often obsessed with permanence, this exhibition celebrates the transient, the decaying, and the fragile.

We are seeking works that embody:

• Time-Based Narrative: Works that capture a singular, fleeting moment or have a defined lifespan;

• Materiality: Art created from natural or "found" elements—flowers, leaves, ice, natural pigments, or even litter; or

• Process & Decay: Pieces designed to change, fade, or decompose over the duration of the show.

Submission Details

• Closing Date: Midnight, 30 April 2026.

“Everything is in a state of flux, including the status of the work of art.”
