Artist Call- Page Turn, June 2024

Page Turn is an exploration into sequential art and visual storytelling. We're extending an invitation to the creative community to craft visual narratives that empower viewers to pace themselves through the story. This challenge prompts artists to transcend conventional book or comic formats, urging them to contemplate how they'll unveil subsequent scenes or elements, orchestrate narrative flow, and convey stories through visuals. The outcome? A diverse collection of tales and experiences that invite viewers to savor the storytelling process in a manner distinct to the art of page-turning, leveraging the reveal as a potent narrative device.
