Tulips can be delicate or bold, literal or symbolic — your interpretation is what brings them to life.​

​ invites artists to submit original 2D or 3D artworks celebrating the tulip. Tulips symbolize renewal, love, and happiness. Artists are encouraged to explore these ideas—or challenge them—through realism, abstraction, surrealism, conceptual work, or experimental approaches. ​Every accepted piece will become part of a larger collective exhibit at VALA Art Center. Presented by the art collective TUL(i)P, this exhibition is centered on the theme “The Impact of Collaboration.” ​

Application Deadline:
Sunday, November 29, 2026

Exhibition Dates:
Friday, January 8 - Sunday March 28, 2027

We want to celebrate how individual voices—unique in style, medium, and interpretation—can come together to form something greater than any single artwork. By participating, artists join a shared creative effort that highlights connection, cooperation, and the power of collective expression.​

Open to adult artists (age 18+) and youth artists (age 10+).​

What is home? Is it a place or culture we inherit, a landscape we belong to, or something we build over time? A house, a backyard, a familiar meal, a treasured object—or simply a feeling of safety, companionship, and belonging?

This autumn, make yourself at home at VALA Art Center, and enjoy over 50 small artworks centered on the theme of home. Enjoy the intimacy of works on a smaller scale, and their invitation to reflect on our environment, communities, and everyday rituals.

Perhaps home is a large idea found in small things.
