CALL FOR ARTISTS: Touchstone Gallery invites artists to submit work for ๐™๐™ž๐™›๐™ฉ๐™ฎ: ๐˜ผ ๐˜พ๐™ค๐™ข๐™ข๐™ช๐™ฃ๐™ž๐™ฉ๐™ฎ ๐™ˆ๐™š๐™ข๐™ค๐™ž๐™ง, a group exhibition exploring the layered histories, lived experiences, and enduring legacies that form our collective identity.

Memory is not only personal, but communalโ€”carried over generations, embedded in place, and reflected in everyday life. This call seeks work that engages with ancestry, migration, neighborhood histories, family narratives, cultural traditions, and the marks left by time.

How do we remember? What do we inherit, preserve, or challenge? What stories have been silenced, and which ones endure?

โ€œI chose this piece because I love the colors of the drawing and the yarn. The piece as a whole reminds me of childhood. The crocheted border feels light and playful while the drawings of the toys remind me of the games i used to play growing up.โ€
