    Hey Womxn, Are We OK?
  • Submissions open through DECEMBER 12th, 2025
    Exhibition on display JANUARY 2026
    Opening: FRIDAY JANUARY 12th, 2026

    Presented by
    The Bunker SLO and Planned Parenthood of the California Central Coast

    In celebration of VAJANUARY, The Bunker invites people of all ages to submit art inspired by their journey as a womxn presenting human on this planet. The exhibit will take place January 2026.

    As womxn and our queer friends' rights are being stripped away in the so called “Land of the Free”, The Bunker wants to host a show about the journey of womxnhood in this day and age. In our lifetime we have seen rights we thought were ours to keep be stripped away and new laws being put into place to control womxn’s bodies and livelihoods.  There is still a huge disparity in many aspects of everyday life for womxn, especially for womxn of color and trans womxn in our society. 

    One work of art will be selected as the featured piece for the event. The selected piece will be featured on all promotional and marketing materials. The featured artist will receive recognition at the opening reception.
