“THE ART OF HEALING” 2021
Art provides the ability to capture a moment or memories of different aspects of mental health and healing. Siy Gallery sought works that illuminate the power of narrative artwork as a tool for challenging stigma and discrimination associated with this cause. This is work that shows the artists’ ingenuity, talent, heart, and perception of mental illness.

The “Art of Healing” photography exhibition will begin on April 3rd, 2021. By putting the spotlight on artists who raise awareness of issues surrounding mental illness through their work, ‘The Art of Healing’ photography show will elevate the public’s awareness of mental illness. An exhibition of selected artists illuminates the power of narrative art as a tool for challenging stigma and the discrimination associated with mental illness. This exhibition will focus on photographs of various types of artwork which could include sculpture, painting, printmaking and traditional photography all captured in photograph that convey compelling visual narratives by artists.

CASPFEST: ART+FILM+MUSIC

Presented by Charles Adams Studio Project, CASPFEST was an inaugural two-night festival of art, film, & music, which aimed to showcase exceptional contemporary arts. The national art exhibition was juried by Christina Rees, the films curated by Paul Allen Hunton & Jonathan Seaborn, & the music featured bandis-style-wides from across the state of Texas. This was the first annual event of its kind, & it took place April 26th through April 27th, at the 5&J Gallery in Lubbock, Texas.

For this show Las Laguna Gallery asked artists to explore our continued political discourse with the use of imagery to make the point of our current state of the nation. This exhibition hopes to get people talking about the sticky subjects and provide visual commentary about subjects like human rights and immigration, pro-life or pro-choice, gun rights or gun control, animal rights, and environmental issues.

Art Room Contemporary Gallery‘s first Art competition “Waters” started in July 2020 and concluded on August 24, 2020. Art Room Gallery received entries from many countries around the world. The Waters theme in this competition included a diversity in types, styles and mediums.  The following evaluation criteria has been used for judging the artwork: creativity, interpretation of the theme, originality and quality of art, overall design, demonstration of artistic ability, and usage of medium. Jury decided to select 134 artworks for inclusion in the exhibition.

For over a decade, Sanchez Art Center has been delighted to present a very large show of very small works, the 50|50 Show. For 50 days, participating artists create 50 small artworks—a challenging creative journey, to say the least!
