Art-Rage: A Creative Rebellion A WCA Art Activism Pod Online Exhibit
October 2 to November 30 2026
Call for Entry Opens: July 4, 2026
Join the nationwide wave of creative rebellion! For the second year in a row, the WCA Art Activism Pod is organizing a national online art exhibition inspired by the Fall of Freedom project (FoF), a national call to counter fascist repression and censorship with joyful communities of defiant creativity.
Express your outrage about our current cultural conditions with Art-Rage. The simple act of making art is and always has been a vital form of creative rebellion. Subject matter may address any theme that is important to you—saving democracy, first amendment, voting rights, diversity, healthcare, bodily autonomy, LGBTQ+ issues, women’s rights, immigration, environmental concerns, anti-war, and more. We encourage a wide range of thoughtful artistic expression.
Bring us work that is unapologetic, raw, beautifully dangerous, truthful, spontaneous, funny, angry, mysterious, insightful, therapeutic, or impossible to categorize. Let your art speak in the voice that is most authentic to you.
Please enter as soon as possible! First come, first served, one piece per person. Entries are limited to 90 works in one gallery space. The call is open to all WCA members. Only 2-D and 3-D works are accepted (No video; No AI images). The call opens July 4th, 2026 and closes once we reach 90 entries.
