What In 2026, The United States of America celebrates the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration Of Independence. We take a moment to contemplate the meanings behind these treasured words. What do they mean to us as artists in America today? Artists are asked to submit work that reflects upon the past, envisions the future or speaks to our present experiences. Artwork might explore ideas of migration and American-ness or fully expressing one’s identity in the framework of the “American Dream.”
