ABOUT THE CALL FOR ENTRIES: Sanctuary: This exhibition explores the idea of sanctuary. This can mean a safe haven, refuge, sacred space, place of beauty, or something entirely unique. What makes a space or moment feel protected, sacred, or healing? Where do you go—physically or mentally—when you need comfort, clarity, or peace? This juried exhibition invites work in all forms that reflect on the concept of sanctuary. Interpret it literally or abstractly. Your sanctuary might be a landscape, a home, a gesture, a memory, or even a state of being. All media are accepted. No size or format restrictions. Painting, sculpture, photography, video, digital, mixed media—everything is welcome.
