# Event Details - **Event Name**: SUBMISSION DEADLINE | The Eyes Have It - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 03 Jul, 2026 at 08:00 am – Fri, 03 Jul, 2026 at 04:00 pm - **Event Description**: In every gaze lies a story, a reflection, a truth waiting to be seen. "The Eyes Have It" is a collective exploration of vision—both literal and symbolic—through the lens of contemporary artists who use the eye as a portal to emotion, identity, and perception. This exhibition invites viewers to look closer, to confront the act of seeing and being seen, and to consider how eyes connect the inner world to the outer one. Each work in this collection transforms the eye into more than an anatomical feature; it becomes a mirror of consciousness, a vessel of memory, and a witness to the human experience. Through painting, sculpture, photography, and mixed media, the artists reveal how eyes can express vulnerability, power, curiosity, and truth. “The Eyes Have it” is a free, open-call, non-juried, salon-style group art exhibition.
