Sitar Arts Center invites artists to submit original artwork for the 16th Annual Patricia Sitar Juried Exhibition: “Belonging.”
At people's core, all long to belong—to feel connected, understood, and accepted. “Belonging” explores the places, people, and moments that make them feel rooted, and the journeys people take to find them. It invites reflection on identity, home, community, and the bold (or quiet) ways people seek to be part of something greater than themselves.
This theme holds space for stories of inclusion and exclusion, of searching and finding, of creating a sense of belonging where it didn’t exist before. Whether fleeting or lifelong, shared or solitary, belonging shapes who people are and how they move through the world.
