Hopes & Dreams

January 12 - March 2, 2024

Show us your hopes and dreams, and what inspires them. Each participating artist may submit one piece of artwork (2D & 3D, open to all media) and will be provided with a 2” cube to design. This block will be used to build a collaborative sculptural work of art at installation. The "Hopes & Dreams" exhibit aims to show the power of collective dreaming.

Telling Her Story

March 16th - June 16th, 2024

Who inspires your art and life, but is maybe not celebrated culturally. Do you know someone behind the scenes, or sometimes forgotten whose story resonates with you and we all should know? Whether it is Mythological Mother Nature, Amelia Earhart, Rosa Parks, Jane Goodall, or your very own Aunt, show us artwork real or imagined inspired by who you admire and think deserves more recognition. This exhibition is an ode to the often unsung, mythological, and legendary in your life!
