State of Wonder NYC: Edition 6, "Friends, Family, & Foes"

State of Wonder NYC is looking for artists for our sixth edition of the show! Our theme is "Friends, Family, & Foes," an exhibition which explores forming and keeping relationships in the city.

State of Wonder is a rotating, free-form group show split up into ten editions which encourage the viewer to gradually consider modern life from a variety of perspectives. Each artist is from New York City, all telling their story about life in the world’s most famous metropolitan area in the 2020s.

This show examines the interpersonal relationships that a population of eight million people offers. The exhibition encourages artists to reflect on navigating “the crowd,” and how one finds solace in those special moments with the right people – from friends, to family, and even foes.

We accept all media and formats, including the visual arts, performance arts, new media, and sound art. We are also seeking all ages and backgrounds, but award priority to young and emerging artists. Artists MUST be born and/or raised in New York City to be considered.
