CALL FOR ARTISTS: What We Carry: A Community Art Exhibition & Dialogue

What We Carry explores the emotional, cultural, ancestral, political, and personal weight we hold — and the ways creativity helps us name, transform, release, and reimagine what lives within us.

Artists are invited to submit 3–5 available works for consideration. Submissions may connect to themes of identity, memory, healing, belonging, grief, resistance, visibility, ancestry, care, transformation, inner peace, joy, survival, release, and what we are learning to hold differently.

This exhibition is not only about hardship. It is also about what sustains us: beauty, breath, ritual, creativity, community, softness, spirit, memory, and the possibility of being held.

1310 Gallery / Sailboat Bend Artist Lofts, Fort Lauderdale

Exhibition Dates: August 21 – September 10, 2026

Please share with artists whose work may connect with the theme.
