CALL for ART
DEADLINE: Sept. 24, 2025
D E L I R I U M, a hybrid exhibition in Worcester, MA (live + projected) presented by Juniper Rag at the Jean McDonough Arts Center; exhibited in tandem with The Hanover Theatre Rep’s 5th Annual Edgar Allan Poe Double Header, a 60 minute solo show comprised of The Tell-Tale Heart and The Cask of Amontillado.
D E L I R I U M invites artists to explore the fragile line between beauty and unraveling, where the mind thrums with restless energy and shadows glisten with unspoken menace. We seek works that fixate on the obsessive, hush the ordinary, and jolt the senses with stark revelations. Let your visions echo with gasps, fevered strokes, or the pallor of something half-remembered. This is a space for art that bleats in the night, quivers with intensity, and teeters between rapture and ruin — a gallery transformed into the haunting architecture of the mind.
D E L I R I U M is curated by Payal Thiffault and Michelle May of Juniper Rag, who are known for their annual call for dark art.
The D E L I R I U M exhibition will bring a revenant and ethereal atmosphere to the gallery during the heightened sense of the unknown. That last week of October, feel the Suspended reality, when the ordinary feels briefly enchanted or dangerous. Thin veils between the seen and unseen, the living and the dead. Shared rituals, a cultural heartbeat of play and dread. Heightened perceptions, every shadow, creak, and whisper
feels loaded.
