UPCOMING OPPORTUNITIES

WHAM Art Center invites artists to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence with a special exhibition exploring freedom, harmony, and vision. In a time of division and polarization, this show asks: What would a unified, creative, and harmonious America look like? This exhibit is a chance to reflect on the freedom to choose connection, collaboration, and understanding. We invite artists to imagine an America where differences are met with curiosity and respect, where visionaries and creators build bridges across beliefs, and where the ideals of liberty inspire harmony and collective growth. Artists are encouraged to explore these themes in any medium—painting, sculpture, photography, printmaking, ceramics, mixed media, or experimental forms. Works may be literal, abstract, symbolic, or conceptual; all approaches are welcome as long as they embody freedom, creativity, and hope. As part of this commemorative exhibition, WHAM will highlight artwork by veterans whose creative voices reflect lived experiences of service, resilience, and the enduring meaning of freedom.

WHAM Art Center invites artists to explore the boundless inspiration of blue in its many shades, moods, and meanings. From the deep indigos of twilight to the delicate sky blues of a spring morning, this exhibit celebrates the power of color as a source of emotion, reflection, and imagination. Inspired by the cyanotype process, known for its signature blue prints and experimental approach, we welcome works in all mediums—painting, printmaking, photography, sculpture, digital art, mixed media, and more. Artists are encouraged to embrace the spirit of cyanotypes: unconventional, experimental, and evocative. Whether exploring the psychology of blue—its calm, melancholy, or meditative qualities—or simply reveling in the aesthetic beauty of the color, this exhibit is an invitation to let blue guide your creativity.

WHAM Art Center invites all artists of all levels to submit original works for ‘Our Planet, Our Inspiration,’ an exhibition revering the beauty, resilience, and complexity of our world. Artists are invited to explore the Earth, life, and the environment in any form—landscapes, creatures, human connections, abstract interpretations, or cycles of life. All mediums welcome, including drawing, painting, photography, clay, mixed media, and recycled/upcycled art.
