Our open call for artists is now open.
As the ways we share art continue to evolve, particularly through digital platforms, so too does what it means to be a member of Nua Collective. We are constantly reimagining how to engage wider audiences with our artists, their works, and the broader creative arts landscape. This involves finding innovative ways to draw in new viewers while preserving the core principle of letting the art speak for itself. Through our collective exhibitions, we aim to reflect our beliefs and values, creating spaces that inspire meaningful connections with art.
The online and social media landscape offers a wealth of opportunities for sharing art but is also a highly saturated environment. Through initiatives such as our visual podcasts Spill the Art Tea and Cross the Line, we have engaged 100,000 more people in just 90 days. We are committed to expanding these avenues and embracing fresh ideas to grow our viewership, raise awareness about our collective and artists, and champion the creative arts.
At Nua Collective, we strive to break down the accessibility barriers often associated with high-art institutions, fostering inclusivity and dialogue around what it means to be an artist. Above all, we love the arts and are dedicated to supporting artists.
