2026 MasterWorks Application at Creative Liberties Artist Studios

📢 2026 Call for Artists: MashterWorks Pop-Up Exhibition, February 19-21, 2026

Hosted by Creative Liberties Artist Studios, 927 N. Lime Ave.

Creative Liberties invites artists of all backgrounds, mediums, and experience levels to participate in MashterWorks, a playful and transformative pop-up exhibition celebrating creative reinvention. This is your chance to breathe new life into an existing artwork and showcase your imagination in an energetic, community-driven event.

🔧 What Is MashterWorks?
Artists begin with a completed artwork that they did not create—something found at Goodwill, a thrift store, a yard sale, or even swapped from a friend. You will then transform this piece into a brand-new creation of your own.

At least 25% of the original artwork must remain visible in the finished “Mashterwork.”

🎨 Who Can Participate?
Everyone! This exhibition is open to all artists and not juried. All submitted artwork will be exhibited. 
One artwork entry per artist.

THIS IS A NON-JURIED SHOW - HOWEVER: We reserve the right to not display art that contains hate speech; contains racist, violent or cruel images or symbols; encourages racism, violence or cruelty; contains pornographic images; or vilifies or demeans individuals or groups of people. Fortunately, we rarely have to reject art for these reasons. But we reserve the right to do so, at our sole discretion. We thank you for respecting all guidelines listed. Artist must also comply with General Guidelines below or work may not be accepted.
