The world is currently undergoing an era of extreme, multifaceted transformation, driven by deep political polarization, technological disruption, social decay, environmental degradation, increasing economic disparity, endless war, and even, alien disclosure. So where do we find peace in the middle of all this chaos?
Despite the insanity of it all, our lives quietly move forward, we fuss with the deli man for not putting enough cheese on our $16 sandwich, serve a new look for the gram every chance we get, continue paying off those student loans, find peace sun bathing on the beach, and dine in at a new restaurant with great yelp reviews. We find love. We break up. We build friendships. We go our separate ways. We work. We pay bills. We take care of our family. We crack jokes until we cry. We continue participating in the small, deeply human rituals that make existence feel meaningful.
Where do you find peace? Where do you struggle? How do you ground yourself? How do you move forward? Where do you find meaning?
If you are a visual artist living in NYC and this message resonates with you, I invite you to apply for our September group exhibition at The Bronx River Art Center. We are selecting 8-12 strong candidates. There is no fee to apply, all 2D, 3D and non-conventional media will be considered. We kept the application process simple and straightforward to remove any frustration. Artist can submit 1-5 artworks to be considered. Applications close June 15th at 11:59pm. Help us get the word out by sharing this post with your community.
