Final Week to Apply: The Places We Call Home Virtual Exhibition

Home has never been just walls and a roof. For some, it’s the childhood street that still feels alive in memory. For others, it’s the scent of bread baking in the oven, the comfort of a parent’s voice, or the way sunlight filters into a familiar room. And sometimes, home isn’t a place at all it’s belonging, connection, or even longing for something that feels just out of reach.

So let me ask you: what does home mean to you?

This is the heart of The Places We Call Home. It’s an open call for artists around the world to reflect, create, and share their own vision of what home means. And with just one week left until the deadline, this is your final chance to be part of a global exhibition that speaks to one of the most universal human experiences we all share.

Why This Theme Matters

Think about how often “home” shows up in art, music, and storytelling. A single chair in a painting can carry years of family dinners. A photograph of a street corner can hold decades of memory. A handwoven textile might carry not only culture but the voices of generations.

When we create about home, we’re not only showing objects or spaces we’re translating emotions: comfort, safety, belonging, grief, or longing. Home is memory. Home is identity. Home is the story of who we are.

Now imagine your work standing among other artists’ interpretations of home together forming a powerful global conversation. That’s what this exhibition is about.

So let me turn it back to you: If someone were to see your work, what would it reveal about where or what you call home?

About the Exhibition

Hosted by the Women in Arts Network, The Places We Call Home International Virtual Exhibition is more than an online gallery it’s a stage that amplifies your voice.

Selected artists will be showcased in a beautifully curated virtual space accessible worldwide.

Why You Should Submit

You should submit to The Places We Call Home because this is more than just an exhibition, it’s an opportunity to share your story with the world. Your work will be featured in a beautifully curated digital gallery, giving it global exposure and allowing it to reach curators, collectors, and art lovers far beyond your studio walls. With the optional artist interview, you can go beyond the artwork itself and let viewers connect with your journey, your inspirations, and the meaning behind your creations. Submitting also means becoming part of a wider artistic community, where voices from across the world come together to reflect on memory, belonging, and identity. You should submit, because this is your moment to leave your mark, tell your story, and be seen on a truly international stage.

Share With The World What ‘Home’ Really Means To You

Deadlines have a way of creeping up. One moment there’s time, and the next it’s gone. This is that moment. In just few days, submissions close, and the doors to this opportunity shut.

So let me ask you one last time: What does home mean to you?

Whatever your answer is, don’t keep it locked away. Let the world see it, feel it, connect with it.

This is the final week. Don’t let it slip away.
