Open Calls for Artists

Manchester has spent 180 years becoming itself. From the mills along the Merrimack to the neighborhoods, industries, and people who have reshaped the city again and again, its history is not one fixed moment but, like the river, a continuous act of change. Reflections 180 Years of Manchester NH invites visitors to look closely at what came before, recognize what remains, and notice what is still unfolding. Presented by Mosaic Art Collective, this exhibition explores Manchester's history, identity, and evolution, including the city as it exists today. Works on view reference the city's industrial past, its people, its neighborhoods, and its present moment of ongoing transformation, spanning documentary and interpretive approaches across a range of media. Together the works offer a layered portrait of Manchester, tracing 180 years of change through the eyes of those who have looked closely at the city they call home.

Full Circle— New Beginnings 2026 marks the gallery's fourth anniversary as a collective, celebrated in its new street-level space. The exhibition reflects on the past year and everything that led here, exploring the cycles that shape our lives: the seasons we move through, the relationships that anchor us, and the personal transformations that bring us back to ourselves in new form. The work on view considers what it means to come full circle, whether through a return to an old practice, a fresh start after loss, or the quiet repetition of daily ritual. Featuring work across a range of media, the exhibition centers themes of renewal, growth, connection, and the ongoing nature of change. Visitors are invited to experience how these artists interpret transformation not as an endpoint, but as part of a continuing cycle.

Fashion can define status, culture, and personality. What a person wears—and how they wear it—can reveal who they are, where they come from, and what they value. It is an essential part of human life and a global industry, but it is also an avenue for art: an expression that is woven into everyday experience. Off The Wall - The Art of Fashion, presented by Mosaic Art Collective in partnership with Fishtoes Vintage + Treasures, brings together work that explores the union of art and fashion, whether utilitarian or outlandish, literal or interpretive. Visitors can expect a wide-ranging collection of works that reference, incorporate, or embody fashion itself, spanning diverse media and approaches united by a shared fascination with clothing as cultural expression. The exhibition invites viewers to consider fashion not just as something worn, but as something made, imagined, and reinvented as art.
