call for art: in this together
The Opportunity
In This Together is a regional exhibition exploring belonging, connection, and community through contemporary art.
The exhibition brings together artistic practice and research on social connection to create a public experience that is thoughtful, accessible, and resonant.
We are seeking work that engages these ideas in ways that feel authentic, creative, and grounded in a clear point of view.
Research + Response
This exhibition is informed by research on social connection—its relationship to belonging, loneliness, health, and community wellbeing.
This is not an academic exercise.
You are not being asked to illustrate research or translate data directly. Instead, we invite you to engage with these ideas in a way that feels true to your practice and perspective.
We’re interested in interpretation rather than explanation.
You might consider:
What helps people feel connected or understood?
Where does belonging come from—and where does it break down?
What spaces or relationships create connection?
How do people experience connection across distance or difference?
What does disconnection feel like, and how does it shape us?
We welcome a wide range of responses—subtle or bold, personal or collective—grounded in a clear point of view.
