DWELLINGS
For our juried exhibition DWELLINGS, Artlink invited artists to submit works of any media that involve homes, shelters, forts, nests, burrows, or any other forms of inhabited space used by humans or non-humans. Where a creature lays its head can be a place of refuge, sustenance, and identity. They are cauldrons of growth, filled with love, hurt, anger, learning, and memory. Often, homes are constructed and, in turn, end up constructing the lives of those who dwell within them, for better or worse. Artlink is excited to offer an exhibition exploring the variety of human and non-human places that serve as home, in all its numerous manifestations.

“It was a pleasure and honor to be selected as a juror for the Dwellings exhibition. The work submitted to the exhibition was diverse in approach and impressive in its quality, making it challenging to narrow it down to the included works. Thank you to all of the artists who submitted work, and congratulations to the creators of the selected artwork.
