THE GRIEF EXHIBIT is a juried collection at the CfC focused on grief, death, and loss. Exhibition dates are January 15, 2027 – April 4, 2027.
Artists are invited to contribute work inspired by loss. The loss may be personal or social, and the art may reflect themes of the complexity of the grief experience, the circumstances of loss, meditations on the conclusion of life, and the noticeable absence and what remains. There will be cash awards for first and second place ($150, $50).
