The Greenwich Art Society is proud to announce their 1st "In Plain Sight" Online Art Competition for the 2026. This exhibition explores what is visible yet overlooked—objects, systems, gestures, or conditions that exist openly but escape notice through familiarity, proximity, or normalization. Artists are invited to consider the tension between what is seen and what is truly perceived.
