Call to Artists
Main Gallery

We the Artists

We invite you to contribute to our exhibit “We the Artists” at The Confluence. The show will run April 14 - May 30. The Call is open January 9 - February 18.

Consider using the power of art to tell stories and raise awareness. Through visual art we want you to promote change and express your interest in important issues of our time. Consider creating art that speaks to our time, gives power to voice, or maybe you will want to speak for those less able to speak for themselves? You may want to use art as a tool to express interest in social and political change. Ask yourself if we can transform our world with art? Some of us believe art can be the vehicle to

transformation and as a way to show a new or different way to see our world. As an artist, do you want to raise awareness, speak to human rights issues, celebrate social and cultural issues, advocate for a

perspective or point of view? Let us see what you feel deeply about. Speak with your art!
