The WRG Digital Call-Out invites emerging artists and designers to respond to a theme and create an animation/artwork for the White Rabbit Gallery website landing page. There will be two digital call-outs each year, with each round’s theme aligning with a new exhibition at the White Rabbit Gallery.

This rounds theme is Black Myth. Black Myth draws its initial inspiration from the viral Chinese video game Black Myth: Wukong (2024), a modern retelling of the legendary novel Journey to the West. Widely regarded as one of the great masterpieces of Chinese literature, Journey to the West is an epic fantasy teeming with spirits, demons, ghosts, mythical beasts, gods, and immortals. Applicants to the WRG Digital Call-Out: Black Myth are invited to engage with this theme and guide audiences on journeys of their own—whether mythic, mystical, spiritual, or temporal. The judges are seeking work that is transformative, transcendent, and deeply immersed in the mythic imagination.

The winner will have their winning artwork showcased on the White Rabbit Gallery website landing page 24/7 for a duration of 5 months, promotion via the White Rabbit Gallery social media channels, receive a $2,000 AUD artists’ fee and have access to professional support and guidance from award-winning creative agency and design studio, Spring in Alaska.

Their work and artist biography will also become a permanent part of the WRG Digital Archive. The WRG Digital Call-Out offers emerging artists and designers an invaluable opportunity for artistic exchange, mentorship, and professional development.
