Adaptation and Resilience

Art Call submission link to come

“Adaptation and Resilience” is an art and poetry exhibit at Front Porch Gallery that celebrates the ways artists learn to overcome and innovate in spite of adversity and through sheer force of will strive to keep creating. As a population many people fear of future environmental catastrophes, are concerned for political stewardship, and have lost the direction of hope. This is when the arts are the most vital tool we have to advance mankind: to show a way forward, to be creative, to be compassionate, to be outspoken and contentious. As a creative – how do you overcome adversity? How do you adapt to the loss of youth, the loss of mobility, the isolation of illness? How do you rise above the outrage of daily disaster, dashed hopes and destruction?  How do you keep the fires of your spirit burning for another day in the hope of creating connection?

How do you creatively respond to being alive right now? That is the question time asks of every artist. Show us through your creative work how you adapt to an imperfect world, and how your resilience lights your way.
