What does it mean to be a Tar Heel? From the deep roots of the state’s industries—tar, pitch, and turpentine—to the grit and resilience that earned North Carolinians their name, we’re looking for artwork that explores the heritage, culture, and identity of our state. Whether through history, landscapes, personal narratives, or bold new interpretations, we encourage artists to reflect on what Tar Heel means to them.

Glamour is Resistance draws its title from the powerful words of artist Justin Vivian Bond, reminding us that the very act of embracing and celebrating glamour within queer identity is inherently subversive. Understanding that glamour, like beauty, resides in the eye of the beholder, this exhibition explores how queer artists reclaim and redefine its meaning. This exhibition seeks to bring together a diverse group of queer artists who, through their work, challenge societal norms, redefine beauty, and assert their unapologetic presence in a world that often seeks to silence them.

For 2025-2026, Southside Contemporary Art Gallery is opening their doors to curators and co-curators to submit proposals: exhibits, programming, activations, etc. These can function and be executed individually or in collaboration with the gallery and their curatorial team.

The Suffolk Art Gallery and Suffolk Art League are teaming up for a spring exhibition inspired by the first all-women’s exhibition in the United States, 31 Women, organized by Peggy Guggenheim in 1943. Although it has been over 80 years since Guggenheim’s seminal show, less than 15% of exhibitions at major U.S. museums in the last decade were of work by women artists.

Suffolk’s version of 31 Women aims to feature work by 31 of the most innovative women creating art in the Mid-Atlantic today. We welcome artists working in a diverse range of media who are breaking new ground in their approach to form, content, and ideas. This exhibition will highlight the rich breadth of talent by women artists. Show runs 5/17 to 6/14.

This exhibition celebrates the profound impact of mentors and the helping hands that shape our personal and professional journeys. Whether it’s a teacher, family member, friend, or community leader, we invite you to explore the theme of mentorship through your creative expressions.

* Submission Deadline: April 6, 2025
* Exhibition Dates: May 3, 2025 – June 12, 2025
