Full Orange Moon: Call for Artists
Exhibition
FULL // ORANGE // MOON
Show Date is Wednesday March 25th, 2026.
This pop-up exhibition explores the influence of the moon on artistic expression while celebrating the symbolic and emotional force of the color orange.
The full moon has long been associated with heightened awareness, intuition, and creative intensity. Across cultures, artists have worked in rhythm with lunar cycles, using the moon as both subject and catalyst.
ORANGE is the second color in the ROYGBIV color spectrum. It sits between the fire of red and the clarity of yellow. Depending on cultural context, orange can signify spiritual awakening, harvest, rebellion, devotion, or joy.
This exhibition invites artists to engage with lunar energy and the emotional charge of orange.
Next Month we explore the color Yellow.

Indignation Meeting: March 11th, 2026
Exhibition
Show date - March 11th, 2026
5pm - 10pm (With Live Musical Jam Session)
Curatorial Statement: Indignation Meeting is a gathering built around one shared emotional core: indignation.
Not rage.
Not spectacle.
Indignation is moral pressure: the moment something within us refuses silence and asks to be witnessed publicly. It is the clarity that arises when dignity is threatened and a better future demands articulation.
This exhibition is a coming together of artists and community members to reassert a collective vision of what the future can be. It is not merely a response to injustice; it is a declaration of responsibility. We gather not only to protest what is broken, but to imagine and celebrate what we are building.
At its heart, this exhibition is an affirmation: our shared future deserves intention.
Artists are invited to respond to injustice, tension, or social rupture without relying on gratuitous violence or shock. The focus should be on vision, dignity, resilience, and possibility.
This is an exhibition about clarity, not chaos.
*Submissions will be taken until show time.

Call for "Pop Up" Artists: Shows for Feb and March 2026
Exhibition
Our organization aims to host a series of pop-up exhibitions in Westville, New Haven. These events are meant to build awareness and support for the arts within the community.
If there is strong interest, we’re open to hosting exhibitions every other week. With additional support and help with administration, this could even become a weekly series. The weekly model is inspired by the Antagonist Art Movement in NYC.
These shows will take place in the Backroom of Delaney's in Westville and another location very close by!
