Fri 5/1 @ 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm EDT
Opening Reception
- Doors open at 6:30pm
- *Stop and Talk signage with some of the Artist Call questions
- Reading of the Call
- Artist Sharing “The call inspired me in this way… what do you see in my work based on the call or my inspiration?”
- Interactive small group reflections based on one of the Artist Call quotes
Theme Questions:
- What does it feel like to be truly welcomed in a new place, or to offer that welcome to someone else?
- How does your own family or personal story of movement, chosen or forced — across land, identity, or time — connect to the larger story of human migration?
- In what ways can the beauty of cultural diversity reveal our deeper spiritual oneness? How might contrasting elements — color, texture, form, or sound — express harmony?
- How do borders, seen or unseen, shape our sense of belonging or exclusion?
- What does it mean not only to be welcomed, but to reclaim voice, culture, and dignity in a new place? How might your art illuminate this transformation?
- What stories, textures, and memories do displaced people bring that enrich the collective identity of any nation?
- Of course, your creative process need not be limited to these questions.
