Homes are places of comfort and refuge from the world. They provide a space for yourself, family, friends, and animal companions to create, share a meal, and rest. They provide shelter when the weather gets heavy and can offer plenty of distractions when moods get down. Homes in art have been depicted in many ways throughout the centuries and act as a record of living aesthetics of the past. These pieces often house the artist’s most cherished moments. We invite artists to look at their homes or imagine the houses they would love to inhabit and create works of art from those memories and fantasies. Let’s come together and create some homes for all to enjoy, love, and find comfort in. Home, Sweet Home!
