CALL TO ARTISTS

317 Art Collaborative invites 1st, 2nd, or 3rd generation immigrant artists of all backgrounds, mediums, and experience levels to submit work for an upcoming exhibition exploring the many stories, struggles, traditions, and triumphs woven into the fabric of immigration to the United States.

This exhibition will open Friday, July 10, from 5-10pm and will remain hanging in the gallery through August.

Artists are encouraged to interpret the theme broadly. Work may address topics including, but not limited to:

Cultural identity and heritage
Immigration stories past and present
Family history and ancestry
Displacement and belonging
Borders, migration and citizenship
Racism and Xenophobia
Unity across cultures
Hope, resistance and community solidarity

All visual art mediums are welcome, including painting, drawing, mixed media, video, photography, sculpture,
fiber, printmaking and installation work.

This exhibition aims to create dialogue, empathy, and understanding during a time when immigrant communities continue to face political uncertainty, fear and division, while also celebrating the immeasurable impact immigrants have had on American culture and society.
