Common Ground: What Unites Us invites artists to explore the meaningful connections that we share. We are looking to showcase pieces that illuminate the quiet powerful places where we come together through shared emotion, memory, experience and sense of belonging.

A Call to Artists:

We invite artists to reflect on connection in all its forms and speak to our universal need for connection and belonging: rooted in relationships, community, nature and the collective emotions that bind us across cultures and time. Through this show, we hope to create a gallery space that feels like a gathering that’s layered, diverse, and full of heart.

This juried exhibition is open to all Artists' Network members. Submit up to three 2D or 3D artworks of varied sizes, in any medium or style. All genres are welcome, but your artist statement must speak directly to the theme. Please do not submit works that have been previously shown at any Leslie Grove Gallery or Artists’ Network exhibitions.
