Love is a powerful, complex, and ever-evolving force in human experience. This new online exhibition pays tribute to the original 1985 Love & Romance show, inviting artists to reflect on how love has transformed alongside cultural and societal changes, and how those shifts shape personal experience today. Submissions may explore themes such as queer relationships, love in times of conflict or separation, and the influence of nostalgia or loss, with an emphasis on diverse, cultural, and experimental perspectives.
We encourage you to submit up to three images connecting the theme “Love & Romance” by Fri, Apr 17 at 4:59 PM (PT). The show will be published on Thu, May 7, 2026. Shower us with your love!
In October 1975, five unemployed but passionate photographers envisioned a $40/month, 125 sq ft storefront as a space to exhibit photography. 50 years and more than 1,000 solo exhibitions and 60 group shows later, Blue Sky Gallery is celebrating its legacy with a new online exhibition series: 12 themed online open calls, one for each month of our 50th anniversary year.
