READ BOTH DESCRIPTIONS AND LET US KNOW WHICH ONE / ONES YOU'D LIKE TO BE A PART OF IN THE COMMENTS SECTION BELOW!
A TRIBUTE to 25 YEARS of MAGIC: THE GATHERING
Tap some land to harness the epic creatures, powerful artifacts, mystical enchantments, and the wonder that courses through the history of Magic: The Gathering. This year is a huge milestone for Wizards of the Coast as it marks Magic: The Gathering's 25th anniversary! And it's no surprise, Magic: The Gathering has become one of the most enjoyed tabletop games on the market and features one of the most beloved fantasy worlds of all time!
Wether you discovered veteran game designer Richard Garfield's masterpiece early in life, or came to it recently, many of us have developed visceral memories and heartwarming experiences centered around the game. And this summer, we here at Light Grey Art Lab want to know what Magic: The Gathering means to you.
Do you live for cracking open a new booster pack and taking a big huff of fresh ink? Did you ever stay up all night crafting a deliciously devious deck, complete with the perfect sideboard? Have you ever poured over the gorgeous card art and invent your own stories playing out behind the scenes? Did you have a secret (or not so secret) crush on the powerful and hunky Planeswalker Jace Beleren? Do you live for the rush of adrenaline you feel as you shuffle your deck before each tournament match? Did your mother teach you to play before you could even read?
Light Grey Art Lab welcomes Magic: The Gathering lovers; past, present, and future to the drawing board to pay homage to 25 years of MTG memories we made along the way.

THE ULTIMATE FANTASY
Building worlds and making games can be fun, but it's no joke. Game artists pour endless time, creativity, blood, sweat, and tears into the worlds they create to facilitate exciting adventures, engaging design, and memorable experiences! And Light Grey Art Lab wants to give these worldbuilding professionals a moment to stand in the spotlight for The Ultimate Fantasy!
If you've played some part in making art and worlds for games (tabletop, video, or otherwise), we want to see you flex! Light Grey Art Lab invites you to show off your Ultimate Fantasy universe!
We're dying to see the epic vistas, fanciful forests, sun-scorched wastelands, and cavernous dwellings that make us want to ditch reality and dive deep into the worlds you create!
Fantasy is a broad term, but we're leaving it up to each artist to define what that means! This is a no-holds-barred chance to show off the ultimate fantasy locale that's shouting from deep down within you!

HOW IT WORKS!
If you're new to participating in a Light Grey show, here is how the calls for art work! Once the call closes, we jury the show and contact all of the participating artists. You do not have to make a work of art unless you receive the participating artist email. Each participating artist is notified by email with a handy log-in page to where they can find a ton of helpful info for shipping / sending artwork for the show as well as promotional details, how sales and listings on the online shops work, and any other information! As always, work is priced by the artist and we have a 40 / 60% commission in favor of the artist! :)
We welcome all types of artwork! In order to make it easier for people to participate from afar, we do offer printing/framing services for digital artists or individuals that do not wish to ship a frame! This info will be provided in the log-in page for your convenience!
HOW TO SIGN UP!
SO! If you're interested in joining us for one, or both of these exhibitions! Please comment on this blog post with your name, email, a link to your work, and a note about which show you'd prefer to be in! :) Please do not send any emails, as they get lost in the shuffle! :)
