SaveArtSpace x PARADICE PALASE is proud to present Don’t Ask, Just Manifest, a public art exhibition on billboard ad space in New York City starting August 12, 2024, curated by PARADICE PALASE.

What is your dream reality? What supercharges your creative flow every day? PARADICE PALASE is seeking artworks that respond to the theme of “real-topia”. Our platform was founded on a dream for more transparency and clarity for artists in the contemporary art ecosystem. This was our utopia, and we’re growing closer to it every day with our digital membership network. So, we are in turn seeking artworks that hypothesize on, propose, manifest, or proliferate your own profound wishes that you dare ask of the universe. From natural reclamation to daring ecological visions to playful celebrations - what uncanny and incredible future(s) do you seek through your work?

We invite artists of all ages and talents to submit their artwork between May 6 and July 1, 2024. This is an opportunity to have your work placed on billboard ad space in New York City.

Open call for art ends July 1, 2024. There is a $10 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 15, 2024. Public art will be installed August 12, 2024 in New York City.
