WHAM Art Center invites artists to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence with a special exhibition exploring freedom, harmony, and vision. In a time of division and polarization, this show asks: What would a unified, creative, and harmonious America look like?

This exhibit is a chance to reflect on the freedom to choose connection, collaboration, and understanding. We invite artists to imagine an America where differences are met with curiosity and respect, where visionaries and creators build bridges across beliefs, and where the ideals of liberty inspire harmony and collective growth.

Artists are encouraged to explore these themes in any medium—painting, sculpture, photography, printmaking, ceramics, mixed media, or experimental forms. Works may be literal, abstract, symbolic, or conceptual; all approaches are welcome as long as they embody freedom, creativity, and hope.

As part of this commemorative exhibition, WHAM will highlight artwork by veterans whose creative voices reflect lived experiences of service, resilience, and the enduring meaning of freedom.

“12 Squared” Reclaimed Fiber Art Call For 2026 Fall Fort Worth Gallery Night

The 12 Squared Exhibit with The Fiber Revival at The Grackle Art Gallery will feature reclaimed fiber works created by DFW artists exploring the art of using reclaimed clothing and various recycled fibers to create works of art. This vivid and dramatic textile show will feature the works displayed in a grid of the 6 color groupings.

The focus of the 6 individual fiber works of 12” X 12” X 2” is the color of the reclaimed fiber. The colors for the projects are: BLUE, PURPLE, RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, and GREEN. Artists are encouraged to explore any variety of fiber techniques and can use multiple techniques in each work. You can use reclaimed objects, paint or any other elements in your works, but the over work should visually be mainly reclaimed fiber.

There is no theme other than color, size and materials used. You are free to create each work in a different way, with a personal subject or not, with a personal theme or not. This is a challenge to create, play, explore and experiment with reclaimed fiber techniques in each of the 6 works.

The only frames that will accepted are Da Vinci Pro Ultra Smooth Panel 12"x12", 2" Deep. These frames can be purchased at jerrysartarama.com. All works must have works permanently mounted to the frame and have d-rings and hanging wire ready for installation.

This challenge is open to any DFW artists. Artists selected must be able to pick and drop off works and are encouraged to attended the 2026 Fall Gallery Night event.

Space is limited and artists are encouraged to submit early.
