An open call for our art gallery, Sims Contemporary Art Gallery, located at 10th Avenue and 23rd Street in Chelsea, New York City. The exhibition, Tender Distortions, invites artists to explore the spaces where things begin to shift where softness gives way to strangeness, where memory becomes foggy, and where identity slips into something more fluid. This exhibition is about transformation, nuance, and emotional resonance, however those ideas choose to take form. Rather than seeking a specific style or subject, the show is open to work that speaks to subtle dissonance, quiet intensity, or the complexity of being. Whether abstract or figurative, literal or symbolic, polished or raw what matters is the feeling behind the form.
