We’ve Come a Long Way…?
What The Art Center Highland Park is rounding out a year of focusing on women in our exhibit schedule, highlighting women as curators, featured artists, and guest jurors. Our final call for entry for 2023 is looking at the phrases ‘women’s work’ and ‘You’ve Come a Long Way, Baby’ to raise the terms more as a question …have we come a long way at all?
TAC is putting out a call for entry searching for artists exploring gender stereotypes that call into question societal behaviors with a critical and interesting eye, expressing the many interpretations of the phrases, women’s work and We’ve Come a Long Way…. TAC invites contributing artists to explore the concept including the affects of stereotyping gender roles. All mediums accepted with an open interpretation of the theme. This exhibit will coincide with the traveling exhibit curated by Sawyer Rose, The Carrying Stones Project, which combines art and data visualization to jump-start public conversation about women’s work inequity. Her works encourage viewers to confront issues of equity, labor, and community by pairing human faces and stories with the numbers behind them.

The Space Between
What Nothing is black or white. “The Space Between” showcases artwork that records our passions, memories and dreams with images of the ephemeral, a space where the personal becomes the universal. On themes of myth, consciousness, intuition, symbols and ritual, the works express the power of the human condition. What power and source does your creativity stem from? What does that look like to you?
Through the lens of self-identified women and non-binary artists, in exploring one’s unconscious realities and portraits of dreams and fantasies, the exhibition is a portal for recognizing or re-knowing one’s self to understand the passages of consciousness, inner journeys, memory, and being impacting emotional, poetic, spiritual, and subconscious planes. The artists portray the space between, where creativity is born and then lives as a powerful talisman through the stories that we tell ourselves and to others in search of the divine.

What we gather to share what’s mine
with you, the food becomes ours, nourishment for our hearts, we connect and we belong "People migrate carrying with them remembrances of joy and burdens of life. Departing their homelands forcefully with grief and resistance or willingly with dreams and hopes for freedom, safety and bread. The new land belonged to someone else — it was stolen, and generations of cultures were erased due to genocide. With gratitude and compassion to the original inhabitants, we now call this land home. We seek to acknowledge the colonial injustices, and racial exploitations as we explore uncharted territories. We embrace, adopt, adapt, and adjust to cultural climatic shifts, barriers, and expectations. Many communities choose to acculturate by preserving their ancestral heritage, native language, familial values and traditions, while many others take refuge in cultural denouncement and assimilate. Our cultural roots connect us with our histories which could be comforting or horrid, glorified or marginalized, celebrated or stereotyped. Our cultural experiences are bound with our communities and our home, preserved in our memories, and passed down as seeds for generations to reap. our kitchens tell our unique story. The way we eat, the ingredients we buy, the utensils we use, the foods we cook and serve, the familiarity of tastes are influenced by our ancestral cultural roots and amalgamated identities. Food is an expression of our cultural experiences and emotions. It brings people together during joyful celebrations or sorrowful moaning moments. Food binds us socially to build community and foster a sense of belonging. It is a catalyst for creating cross-cultural awareness, understanding, appreciation, and respect. Food is the first level of digesting another culture. The juried call mine, your, ours, invites artists, designers, and performers based in the United States to submit their distinctive ways in treasuring their traditional food recipes while exploring adaptive methods of cooking. What are their kitchen stories and familial traditions? How are their ancestral or indigenous foods cooked and shared with others? What are the challenges or marginalizations encountered by them for sustaining their familial food traditions for future generations to embrace? How is food consumed for sustenance during joy or conflict or despair at home or in their communities? How do they bring diverse communities of people together, establish belonging, and promote hope through food?"
