Traditions live in all of us — passed down through generations, carried across borders, and made new through personal experiences. They appear in how individuals see the world and in the ways they express it. This year VASA Arts Festival invites artists to contribute to Tapestry of Traditions, a celebration of the influences, memories, and cultures that shape us all. The festival seeks artworks that explore how tradition moves through the artist—whether through ancient techniques, cultural stories, or contemporary interpretations of timeless ideas. Each art piece may honour the past, challenge it, or reimagine it, as long as it remains authentic to the artist’s journey. Participants are invited to weave their stories into the fabric of the VASA Arts Festival 2025.

An international call exploring themes of transformation across the Americas.

From wind-sculpted coastlines to cloud-piercing mountain ranges, the Americas offer some of the planet’s most powerful and varied terrains. Yet these environments are forever in motion—reshaped by urban growth, ecological restoration, natural disasters, and a warming climate.

Whether through abstract imagery, mixed-media installations, sculptural forms, data-driven visuals, or inventive uses of color and texture, show us how natural and human forces collide, converge, and coexis

Entry is open to artists residing in the any of the states or territories of the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
