Myth and Story

We invite you to contribute to our exhibit “Myth and Story” at The Confluence. The show will run March 2 - April 24. The Call is open November 13, 2026 - January 27, 2027.

The universes we imagine are often as important as the realities we live.

Myth and fantasy are vehicles through which we can examine the human experience. fairy tales, grand epics, folklore, speculative fiction - all provide us with a lens to view our hopes, fears, and loves.

For Myth and Story we are looking for works that draw inspiration from ancient lore, magical creatures, and heroic tales. We want to see how you bring these stories and worlds to life through your unique creative voice. Explore where civilization meets mystery, and show us what you find.
