Submission Deadline: 8/18/2025
In a time when truth and falsehood are increasingly blurred, Art League RI invites artists of all media from all regions of the world to submit works for the Truth Unveiled: Art as Reality, Illusion, and Insight exhibition. The artists’ work chosen for this exhibition will reflect on how art—as an inherently imaginative, subjective expression—can open minds, raise awareness, and convey truth in ways that straight facts cannot.
We believe that art provides a unique lens to reveal both personal and universal truths, engaging viewers in a conversation about authenticity, perception, and illusion. Truth Unveiled aims to provoke conversation about art as both a vehicle for and a challenger of truth. ALRI is seeking work that engages viewers beyond the literal, and we encourage artists and audiences alike to question the nature of reality and illusion, opening pathways for reflection and discussion.
The jurors for this exhibition are Conor Moynihan and Christina Alderman. Moynihan is the Interim Department Head and Associate Curator of Prints, Drawings, and Photographs at the RISD Museum, where he focuses on the modern and contemporary work in the collection. His areas of focus include performance, identity-based practices, queer art, and disability arts. Alderman is the Director of Family and Teen Programs at the RISD Museum, where she develops and oversees educational initiatives that foster creative engagement for young audiences. Her work focuses on making art accessible through interactive experiences, interdisciplinary learning, and community collaborations.
The selected works will be on display in the Art League RI and Tiernan Hallway galleries at 80 Fountain Street and prizes will be awarded based on the juror’s selection. ALRI members who are in good standing are eligible for a $15 discount on the entry fee. Members should contact Ellen Matesanz at office@artleagueri.org for the discount code.
