Call to Artists – Rooms of Grief

Kennedy Heights Art Center presents their latest Call to Artists for Rooms of Grief, an exhibition that invites artists to explore the spaces we inhabit when loss rearranges our world. Each “room” becomes a metaphor, where silence, memory, and renewal coexist. This exhibition seeks work that interprets grief not only as sorrow, but as transformation, revealing the textures, colors, and shapes of what remains and what begins again.

Co-curated by Mallory Feltz (KHAC) and Ena Nearon, Ten Talents Network.
