SaveArtSpace is proud to present Personal Touch, a public art exhibition on ad space in Washington, DC, starting August 29, 2025, curated by Trap Bob.

In a time where so much of our lives are automated and algorithmically driven, we need to celebrate and give gratitude to what makes us stand out. As artists, our style, our decisions, and what we create are the results and reflection of our personal touch. With this open call, let’s highlight what makes us individuals, and remember what separates us from technology. Share your favorite and most special work - the work that comes from your heart.

We invite artists of all ages and talents to submit their artwork between June 4 and July 14, 2025. This is an opportunity to have your work exhibited on ad space in Washington, DC.

Open call for art ends July 14, 2025. There is a small donation per image submission to participate, each donation is tax deductible and goes to producing the public art. Selected artists will be announced after July 28, 2025. Public art will be installed August 29, 2025 in Washington, DC, and will be on view for at least one month.
