Call to Artists
Main Gallery

We invite you to contribute to our exhibit “This Land is Our Land” at The Confluence. The show will run October 6 - November 14, 2026. The Call is open June 26 - August 5.

Public Lands, (Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, National Monuments, National Wildlife Refuges, National Parks) belong to all Americans. They are our cherished places, and provide clean water, air, and habitats for plants and animals - including people. Wild public lands are places to roam, adventure, observe, renew, hunt and fish. They are the homelands of Indigenous people, who have taken care of these sacred places since time immemorial. Public land belongs to all of us and yet today we are at risk of losing access to our most treasured places.

We are asking artists to sing their personal heart song for the wild places that surround us and celebrate our public lands. This is your chance to use your artistic expression to speak up for and stand for public lands. Show us your joy and exhilaration, or perhaps you are feeling anger and mourning over the loss of wild places and perhaps access to a favorite spot. Show us why you feel public lands are important and vital to our well-being, our soul and for all life. It is not necessary to reveal precious locations…
