Call for Art! Unto Ourselves: Radical Autonomy
November 1, 2022 @ 8:00 am - February 22, 2023 @ 5:00 pm
Community members are invited to create original artworks exploring the theme of bodily autonomy for our March exhibit, "Unto Ourselves: Radical Autonomy," in partnership with Kachemak Bay Family Planning Clinic (KBFPC). A portion of artwork sales will support their programs, including the R.E.C. Room. Learn more about KBFPC and R.E.C. Room here!
The show will be on display in HCOA's gallery from March 3- April 1.
What is bodily autonomy?
Who gets to have it, and why?
How do you define and protect your boundaries?
Are there parts of you -- physical, emotional, spiritual -- that no one has access to?
If it's your choice, what do you choose? What would it feel like to be completely, radically free?
Join us to explore and celebrate our individual physicality and our shared humanity.
To submit artwork for the gallery exhibit:
Complete the online submission form before dropping off artwork and no later than February 22.
Drop off artwork at HCOA between February 20-27 during gallery hours, 1-5pm Monday through Saturday. Submissions must be received at HCOA no later than 5pm on February 27.
