We’re asking What is art? But we’re accepting wrong answers only.

Convention? Norms? The good ol’ Playbook? Nah. Not in this household.

Theme for the Delhi 2025 Edition: This year, we’re calling all artists and storytellers working in every conceivable medium to restore and revive their Deleted Drafts.

 OAH 2025 will be a home for our once rejected ideas, abandoned WIPs, buried feelings and experimental experiments. Together and as a community of bad artists, we’ll unearth the "bad art" born from creative spirals and celebrate these perfect "mistakes" at the Museum of Rejects.

Sending your pitch: Applying to exhibit at the Opn Art Gallery is free! We invite applicants to submit pitches for preexisting work that aligns with the 2025 edition theme, Deleted Drafts. Submissions are welcome across all creative mediums, including illustration, design, photography, mixed media, installations, poetry, and more. Please submit a separate application for each pitch.

We have a limited number of spots available, so be as detailed as possible in your submission—we’d love to get to know you and your work better!

Selected submissions will be printed and exhibited in the standard Opn Art House format. If your work requires printing in a specific format, you will need to handle both printing and transportation. There is a section in the form to specify these details.
