First Light is our first open call. Up to 20 works, chosen by the CURATE.TEAM, will hang together in a walk-through 3D exhibition on curate.tours, opening on Friday 15 January 2027. The theme is first light. Take it literally: dawn, low sun, the quiet hour before anyone else is up. Or take it loosely, as a beginning of any kind: a first attempt, a first home, a new season, something you're still working out. Any 2D work or photograph is welcome, including painting, drawing, print, collage, graphic design and digital work, new or old. Give the exact medium for each work when you upload it. AI-generated work is welcome. Say so when you upload it. You don't need an exhibition history. Entry is free, and there's no prize beyond selection. Selected artists get a place in the exhibition, a feature on curate.tours/featured and the curate.tours channels, and a "Selected for" credit on their curate.tours profile.
