Collage Artists of America (CAA) invites all artists around the globe to submit work for “Portals,” an open online juried exhibition. The exhibition will be presented virtually on the Collage Artists of America website and through OnlineJuriedShows.

Artists are encouraged to explore what defines a portal and to imagine one that resonates with them. A portal might be an elaborate doorway leading to the known or unknown, an opening into another universe, an entrance into the body or mind, or any passage into something real or imagined.
