We encourage artists to trace the invisible lines that connect us — to one another, to places and times, to nature and the environment, to technology or even metaphorically. The group exhibition explores the threads between intimacy and distance, and the quiet tension of things held together by memory, ritual, or hope. We want artists to interpret this theme broadly and creatively, considering its multifaceted dimensions.
We welcome submissions in all mediums, including painting, sculpture, textiles, & photography. Two works per artist may be submitted. AI generated artwork is not permitted.
All work must be delivered in person to our gallery M 12/1/25 - T 12/2/25 2-6 pm.
Artwork must be picked up 1/11/26 11-4pm.
