OPEN CALL: LIFE WITH WATER | SSA AT AN TOBAR
The SSA is pleased to be collaborating with An Tobar, Isle of Mull for the first time on a new exhibition with the theme of ‘Life With Water’.
Life With Water: A wave of creativity in response to the Ocean
The sea is not just scenery. It is memory, myth, and movement and the source of all life. It is the pulse beneath our islands, the force that carves our cliffs, the salt in our stories.
On the Hebridean Isle of Mull, where land and water evaporate into one another, we gather to create, to question, to reimagine.
Online Submissions open: Friday 4 April 2025, 12 noon
Online Submissions close: Monday 19 May 2025, 12 noon
