Oud of Sight: 4 dates, 4 locations

Aged out of half the open calls in the country? Likely. Wrinkles? Maybe. Washed up?
Never.

We warmly invite female mid-career artists aged 35+ to submit work for Oud of Sight: 4 pop-up group exhibitions celebrating seasoned artists who have mastered the art of surviving trends, age expectations, unsolicited feedback, unpaid art jobs, and being politely overlooked.

Oud of Sight is a series of 4 exhibitions for professional female artists over 35, 45, 55, 65, 75, 85,… whose work has outgrown invisibility, apology, and the exhausting
performance of staying eternally ‘emerging’. Playfully referencing the Flemish word oud (old), this exhibition aims to challenge the quiet assumption that cultural relevance belongs to the young, the loud, or the algorithmically blessed. 

We are interested in work with substance made by professional artists living in Belgium who have evolved technical skill, good stories, bad knees, and who no
longer make themselves smaller to fit the room.
We are interested in artists who are too seasoned to ask for permission, too curious to stand still, and far too alive to disappear into the background. 

Oud of Sight is NOT a nostalgia act. It is a collective reminder that relevance does not expire. 
Feel like you fit the bill, come take up space with us!
