Calling all artists for the 2025 Community Art Show, we encourage you to tell stories of change, transformation, and evolution; in other words, metamorphosis. We invite you to reflect on the media you use in your art and how it may be possible to transform them.
We encourage the submission of pieces that employ unique applications and combinations of artistic media to tell stories of transformation. Examples of unique usage of media include: collage, sculpture, textiles, digital art, and much more.
We ask the question: How can the evolution of art mirror the evolution of ourselves and the world?
Submissions are open to all Northwestern students & local community members.
Please note that the gallery has limited technology access and will not be able to accommodate works with complex technological needs.Should your work require use of technology, please include a list of tech needs in the additional comments section below.

2024 Community Art Show
Well Versed
February 20 - March 15, 2024
Well Versed is an invitation to explore the intertwining of art and language through the unique medium of poetry. This art exhibit prompts visual artists in our community to create works inspired by poems that have touched their lives. Invoking reflection on a sweeping range of themes through a wide range of poetic works, each artist calls upon the visceral emotions and experiences that make us human.
The exhibition includes the art pieces created by members of our community coupled with the text of their poetic inspiration. Well Versed is a conversation that invites cross disciplinary fusion between the visual and literary arts to explore the heartbeat of the human experience.
