“The enemies of intellectual liberty always try to present their case as a plea for discipline versus individualism.” ― George Orwell, All Art Is Propaganda: Critical Essays. This online gallery comprises contemporary art which investigates ‘Orwellian’ themes in their broadest sense. The intention is to attract interested institutions or agencies sufficiently to host a gallery exhibition. If any aspect of Orwell’s rich tapestry runs through your artwork, please see submissions section.

SUBMISSIONS: All Artist’s submissions on-theme will be posted on the Room 103 blog-site.

Submission is free; there may be a minimal hanging/administration fee when any opportunity to exhibit arises.
