April 2026: RE:collection

Kelly Williams, Helen C. White and Myrna Tatar collect what’s been cast off—by time, by taste, by necessity—and transform it through processes that move beyond painting. Collecting becomes both method and meaning: a way to reassemble stories of self, culture, and land. Here, the disregarded becomes deliberate—an alchemy of gathering and transformation. The work shows how what we collect reshapes what we value.

May 2026: Micro / Macro

Looking at how we interpret sciences, this Open Call embraces both scientific inquiry and artistic interpretation. We are particularly interested in work that bridges macro and micro, inside and outside, —echoing the idea that everything, everywhere, all at once is interconnected. See details of the call here.
