Open Call for Submissions
Mainframe Studios is proud to present: NOSTALGIA
Juried by: Jeff Rider and Jody Valentine
Nostalgia explores how the past lives on in the present and shapes the way we see ourselves and the world around us. Through a range of mediums, artists draw from memory to revisit places, people, and moments that feel both distant and familiar. Some works offer comfort and longing, while others question what is real or remembered. Together, they invite viewers to consider how memory shifts over time and why certain experiences stay with us.
Works will be on view across multiple galleries at Mainframe Studios from June 5th through July 29th, 2026 with an opening reception during First Friday on June 5th.
Submissions Due: May 3rd, 2026
