Close to Home

"Home" can be a place, a person, a memory, a community, or simply a feeling. Artists are invited to consider what feels familiar, intimate, personal, or deeply known—and what happens when we look at it again. Variations in size and shape are encouraged, as well as applications in two- and three-dimensional formats. The goal of this exhibition is to be a celebration of the concept of “home” and what it can mean within the context of an artist’s experience.
