Call for Entry: Mixtape
MEDIUM Art Center invites artists of all backgrounds and mediums to submit work for its upcoming August juried group exhibition, Mixtape. This juried show asks artists to create visual artwork inspired by a favorite song title or lyric, any genre, any era, any mood.
The exhibition will run from August 1 through August 30, 2025, with an opening reception on Friday, August 1, during Ukiah’s First Friday Art Walk.
From punk and pop to soul and synthwave, Mixtape will celebrate the emotional power of music and its deep ties to visual memory, storytelling, and identity. Submissions can be literal, abstract, nostalgic, humorous, or raw, just like your old cassette collection.
