ARTIST CALLOUT
"OUR GREAT SOUTHERN OCEAN"

Glyph Gallery & Creative Space invites artists to submit work for our upcoming summer exhibition, "Our Great Southern Ocean". From dramatic shipwrecks and swaying kelp forests to extraordinary marine life and soaring seabirds, this exhibition celebrates the beauty, power and stories of the Southern Ocean. We welcome artwork inspired by the people who live, work and play along its coastline—those who fish, surf, dive, sail and paddle amongst the waves, as well as the ever-changing landscapes and ecosystems that make this coastline so unique. Artists are encouraged to interpret the theme in their own way, whether through realism, abstraction or contemporary practice.
