Shared Ground: Collaborative Art
Shared Ground: Collaborative Art is a juried exhibition celebrating the creative possibilities that emerge when artists work together. In an art world often focused on individual expression, this show centers on co-creation—artworks made through genuine collaboration between two or more artists. We invite pairs or small collectives to submit work that reflects shared vision, process, and authorship.
Imaginarium: The Art of the Unseen
Invite your imagination to reveal hidden worlds, concepts, and perspectives.
Applications open: July 21 – August 18
Imaginarium: Beyond the Visible invites artists to journey past the material world into the mysterious, often intangible spaces of the inner mind, spirit, and dream. This juried exhibition explores the power of imagination to illuminate what cannot be easily seen or explained—realms shaped by memory, vision, symbolism, and the subconscious.
Whether through fantastical invention, surreal landscapes, spiritual archetypes, dreamlike abstraction, or personal mythology, Imaginarium celebrates works that embrace mystery and explore the unknown. Artists are encouraged to break away from literal representation and instead tap into intuition, inner symbolism, and the ethereal aspects of human experience.
This is a space for wonder, illusion, and transformation—a gallery where portals open, logic dissolves, and the invisible is brought to life.
