Rooted: Where Origins Meet Imagination

​

 

What keeps you grounded? What landscapes have shaped your journey? Rooted invites artists to explore the deep connections between nature, place, and memory. From the twisting limbs of ancient trees to the layered histories embedded in the land, this exhibition will celebrate the strength, beauty, and resilience found in our roots—both literal and metaphorical.

 

We’re seeking work that honors the natural world, reflects on heritage and history, and reveals the ties that bind us to the earth and each other. All mediums welcome—from painting and sculpture to photography, fiber, and digital art.

Whether you find inspiration in the forests of your childhood, the stories passed down through generations, or the changing contours of the landscape around you, we want to see how your roots inform your art.

​

Let your work dig deep. Let it reach wide. Let it be Rooted.
