O’Hanlon Center for the Arts invites you to submit work for our upcoming online exhibition: :

What’s Going On? Art in Response
As the 21st century unfolds, we find ourselves in rapidly shifting territory. Political, Economic, Social, Technological and Environmental changes are swift and unstable.

Many of the institutions, organizations and communities we have relied on to help us make sense of our world seem to be crumbling. Most of us are unsure of what is real.

Art reflects the emotions, concerns, and aspirations of a people.  Through artistic expression, artists can communicate, provoke, and challenge injustices and give voice to insecurities and aspirations.

Please submit your visual responses and perspectives related to the unsettling and confusing zeitgeist we find ourselves living in.
