LOAM invites artists to participate in its July 2026 exhibition, exploring work at the intersection

of art, play, and everyday life.

We are looking for artists interested in creating functional works that move beyond the wall and

into the lived spaces of childhood—bedrooms, playrooms, school bags, dining tables.

This is an invitation to consider what art becomes when it is used, handled, and lived with.

For this exhibition, LOAM seeks proposals for objects that blur the boundaries between artwork,

design, and play.

Possible formats include (but are not limited to):

* Wearable art — clothing, shoes, accessories

* Textiles — rugs, blankets, soft sculptures

* Lighting — lamps or luminous objects

* Everyday objects — pencil boxes, school items, bags

* Sculptural toys or play objects

* Mobiles or room installations

* Hybrid works merging sculpture, design, and utility

We are particularly interested in works that:

* Engage childhood as a space of imagination and experimentation

* Invite interaction rather than passive viewing

* Integrate into a child’s daily environment

Selected works will be presented in LOAM’s July 2026 exhibition. Final artworks must be ready

by 15 June 2026.
