UT Permian Basin's Nancy Fyfe Cardozier Gallery and the Ellen Noël Art Museum in Odessa, Texas invite submissions for Water Works, a spring 2022 exhibition.

 Works about water in the context of art and ecology
 Works about water in the context of socio-economic dialogues
 Works about water in the context of adaptations and revisions of historical depictions of water

Artists working in installation, video, 2D, 3D, and other medium are encouraged to apply. Artworks must be made within the last 3 years.
