Thornback Gallery Annual Juried Show Fractures and Repair
On view January 2026- Opening Reception TBD
Thornback Gallery is pleased to announce our Second Annual Juried Exhibition, celebrating outstanding contemporary artwork across all media. "Fractures and Repair" explores cycles of rupture and renewal—how individuals and communities respond to harm, navigate conflict, and engage in acts of healing and reconstruction. This theme invites work that reflects on personal or collective struggle, transformation, and resilience.
This show offers artists the opportunity for professional exposure and cash awards, with all selections made through a blind jury process to ensure fairness and artistic integrity. A non-refundable fee of $30 enables each artist to enter up to two works. Please submit one digital image per work to be juried.
