Description

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.

APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS

The exhibition is open to artists of all levels, ages 18+, residing in the United States. All media are eligible, including painting, drawing, photography, printmaking, ceramics, sculpture, mixed media, collage, and recycled or upcycled art, and both 2D and 3D works are welcome. Artwork should be inspired by the themes of freedom, harmony, or envisioning a unified America, though interpretation is open and flexible. All approaches are welcome as long as they express freedom, creativity, and hope. All artwork must be original, created by the submitting artist, and completed within the past three years. AI-generated artwork is not eligible, and artwork previously shown at WHAM Gallery will not be accepted.
