Clay & Color: Red Planet Resonance
February 3–28, 2026
Submission deadline: Tuesday, Jan 20, 2026
Think red or go rouge, it's all about wonder! What happens when fire, earth, and imagination collide with the mysteries of Mars? Clay & Color: Red Planet Resonance invites ceramic artists, sculptors, and surface designers to explore the chromatic and conceptual possibilities inspired by the Red Planet. Think oxidized reds, iron-rich glazes, cratered forms, and the bold spirit of extraterrestrial exploration. This exhibition is curated by Anne Thiam, a ceramic artist whose work distills the essence of lived experience into sculptural form.
After The Leaves Have Gone
Opening: Monday, Feb 9, 2026
Submission deadline: Saturday, Jan 31, 2026
Now the Leaves Have Gone invites artists to celebrate the bright, invigorating clarity that winter uniquely reveals. When the leaves fall away, the world sharpens: colors intensify and that seasonal light slices cleanly across landscape and architecture. We’re seeking artworks that embrace this crisp optimism — paintings, photographs, sculptures, ceramics, textiles, digital works, and everything in between. Surprise us with how winter’s pared-back beauty sparks joy, energy, or renewal – what emerges when the world is stripped to essentials. Artists of all backgrounds and disciplines are warmly encouraged to submit and help illuminate the season.
Awards – 1st: $300, 2nd: $200, 3rd: $100
Frame By Frame
Opening: Friday, Mar 20, 2026
Submission deadline: Friday, Mar 13, 2026
Frame by Frame invites photographers to capture the pulse of life in the Cultural Center's new online exhibition. We’re looking for images that vibrate with motion, energy, and nighttime possibility—the blur of streetlights, the pulse of a crowd, your favorite city in motion. Imagine a single frame cut from a film – singular and separate, perhaps telling a fleeting story. And most importantly, we want people in these frames: figures, family, and friends – in motion, gestures caught mid-story, characters who seem to continue living beyond the image. All and every style is welcome!
