Open Call for the Upcoming Exhibition:
Carried Home: Memory, Migration & Belonging
May 4 - June 19, 2027
In celebration of AAPINH and Immigrant Heritage months, this exhibition explores the concept of ‘home’ beyond the idea that it must be a physical location. It conceptualizes ‘home’ as something carried across time and space through memory, language, family, objects, food, ritual and the body. We are seeking works which celebrate, investigate and reimagine this idea.
Application is open to all artists ages 18 and older.
