Description
Sitar Arts Center invites artists to submit original artwork for the 16th Annual Patricia Sitar Juried Exhibition: “Belonging.”
At our core, we all long to belong—to feel connected, understood, and accepted. “Belonging” explores the places, people, and moments that make us feel rooted, and the journeys we take to find them. It invites reflection on identity, home, community, and the bold (or quiet) ways we seek to be part of something greater than ourselves.
This theme holds space for stories of inclusion and exclusion, of searching and finding, of creating a sense of belonging where it didn’t exist before. Whether fleeting or lifelong, shared or solitary, belonging shapes who we are and how we move through the world.
Artists are encouraged to interpret the theme broadly. All mediums and perspectives welcome.
