September 2026 marks the 2nd anniversary of Hurricane Helene. This show will offer an opportunity for artists to share the impact of Helene on their work. For some, artwork was destroyed, sometimes recovered, and reenvisioned. For others, the impact was more about the disruption of virtually everything, including making, displaying, and selling artwork. HOW DID IT IMPACT YOU? How has this event shaped or reshaped your artwork? We seek to discover how artists have survived and risen following this upending.
We seek artists with varied backgrounds who represent the wealth of talent and diversity in our region. Interested artists may submit 2 pieces of original artwork for consideration. We will accept 2D work in all mediums, including paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, fiber, and mixed media, as well as 3D work in ceramics, fibers, metal, wood, and/or other sculptural materials. Experimental styles will be considered. Original interpretations of the theme are welcomed.
The exhibit will be on display in the Gallery at the Black Mountain Center for the Arts from September 4 to September 25, 2026. Selected artists will drop off their piece at BMCA on August 31 or September 1, 2026.
