As summer gives way to busy schedules, September invites us to pause and consider what helps us feel grounded. The Art of Balance explores the routines, rituals, and relationships that nourish our well-being and help us thrive!

Balance looks different for everyone. For some, it may be found in quiet mornings, tending a garden, movement, or time spent creating. Others may find it through community, family, meaningful work, or moments of stillness in nature.

We invite artists to reflect. Consider questions such as:
What keeps you grounded?
How do you recharge?
What routines or rituals support your well-being?
What hobbies bring you joy?
How do growth and rest coexist?

Artists working in all media are encouraged to apply. Functional work, sculpture, paintings, photography, fiber arts, jewelry, and mixed media are all welcome!

Inspired by the historic cabinets of curiosities, this exhibition celebrates the mysterious, fascinating, and often overlooked wonders of the natural world.

Looking beyond Halloween, Cabinet of Curiosities explores creatures, folklore, natural history, and the hidden magic waiting just outside our doors all year long. From woodland animals and insects to local legends, nocturnal landscapes, and peculiar discoveries, we invite artists to uncover the extraordinary within the everyday.

Whether whimsical, scientific, eerie, or enchanting, we encourage artists to interpret this theme through their own unique lens.

We're curious… what fascinates you?
