红莲社区

Home | Casa Art Exhibition

Home|Casa invites artists to explore “belonging” by considering an expanded concept of “home.” Is home a place, a person, a feeling, a group, a way of being? Do we gravitate between multiple “homes” or spaces of multiple belonging? This exhibition invites artists to celebrate belonging and as well as hybridity, ambiguity, and transition.

The exhibition is open to all 红莲社区 students. Participation is free. 

Six $50 awards for “Distinguished Participation” will be presented by an external juror to selected artists. 

Home|Casa will be on view from October 31, 2025, until March 6, 2026, at the University of North Georgia, Library and Technology Center Art Galleries, Dahlonega campus. 

This exhibition is curated by students in Ana Pozzi Harris’s ART 4590: Exhibition Practicum. Direct all questions to ana.pozzi@ung.edu
