2027’s challenge takes inspiration from the number 9, which is a perfect square. 

Selected artists will be tasked with creating a series of four square artworks in increasing sizes: 4 × 4 inches, 6 × 6 inches, 8 × 8 inches, and 10 × 10 inches. Each series will focus on a single subject of the artist’s choice and explore that subject through a progressive shift in perspective—either zooming in or zooming out on the subject from one artwork to the next.

The four artworks should function as a connected series, with each piece revealing more or less of the subject as the scale changes. For example, an artist might begin with a close-up detail of a flower in the 3-inch square and gradually zoom out in each subsequent piece, ultimately revealing the entire flower or its surrounding environment in the 12-inch square.

Challenge Dates: January 9 – February 6

Gallery Show Dates: February 13 – March 6
