CALL FOR ART NOW OPEN! DEADLINE, MARCH 6.

Description

The 2026 Asia North exhibition committee is excited to announce Dylan Kaleikaumaka Hill as our guest curator! Hill is currently the Baltimore Museum of Art’s Meyerhoff-Becker Curatorial Fellow. Her curatorial practice aspires to center underrepresented perspectives and interrogate colonial narratives.

We invite artists to submit artworks that explore the many facets of hospitality—a core value rooted in respect, ritual, and community for many of us who grew up in APIMEDA (Asian Pacific Islander Middle Eastern Desi American) households. Considering hospitality as a malleable practice, we ask that submitted works address the ways in which hospitality beckons us to prioritize the care of others, create safe spaces for exchange, and reinforce/redefine cultural traditions. We invite works from across mediums that convey the nuances of what it means to be “hospitable” across the greater Baltimore and DMV regions today. The exhibition will feature works from guest artists and from this open call for art and will be installed in the SNF Parkway Theatre and Currency Studio throughout the month of May.
