Warm & Cozy is a juried group exhibition showcasing a unique collection of giftable artworks that evoke a sense of warmth, comfort, and connection. We invite artists working in any medium to submit functional or decorative artworks created within the past two years that reflect ideas of delight, familiarity, joy, or the feeling of home.
Proposed works should be representative of, or the specific works the artist intends to exhibit, with consideration given to pieces that are especially suited for gift giving. Selected works will invite viewers to discover art that feels personal and meaningful, celebrating togetherness and evoking the shared memories, familiar moments, and connections.
Final selections will be based on gallery size, artwork scale, and how the works come together to create a cohesive and engaging exhibition.
