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. To reflect on a place is to look closely at what came before, recognize what remains, and notice what is still unfolding. Mosaic Art Collective is seeking submissions that explore Manchester's history, identity, and evolution over the past 180 years, including the city as it exists today. Works that reference the city's industrial past, its people, its neighborhoods, or its present moment and ongoing transformation are welcome for this juried open call. Work can be documentary or interpretive, as long as it speaks to the theme of reflection on Manchester's history and present. All media are welcome, excluding reproductions and AI generated work. Reflections 180 will be a lightly juried call with two guest

As we continue to celebrate in our new street level gallery, on our 4th anniversary as a collective, we are reflecting on the last year and everything that brought us here. Every ending carries the seed of what comes next. This exhibition invites artists to explore the cycles that shape our lives: the seasons we move through, the relationships that anchor us, the personal transformations that bring us back to ourselves in new form. Whether it's a return to an old practice, a fresh start after loss, or the quiet repetition of daily rituals, we want to see how you interpret what it means to come full circle. We welcome work in all media that speaks to renewal, growth, connection, and the ongoing nature of change. Excluding reproductions and AI generated work.

Join us for Lunch and Learn September 15th 12-1:30. Bring a bagged lunch and meet us for lunch with a view. We are hoping to invite community leaders in to present on different topics each month.

Autumn arrives with a crisp breeze and bright foliage. The change of weather calls us to the enchantment of the wilderness and invites us to explore all the possibilities of the season. We roam to the woods and immerse ourselves in the beauty and mystery of this time of year. We are seeking art that depicts a celebration of autumn, the landscape, people, activities, holidays, and emotions. Broad interpretations of the theme are welcome. Work in all medium is welcome to apply, excluding reproductions and ai generated.

As the lights of the holidays slowly dim we are left in the stillness and quiet of the darkest time of the year. Betray the Dark is an invitation for artists to meet the darkness honestly, what does it feel like to sit inside difficult seasons of the mind and about the moments where the light is found and made. We're not looking for work that only performs pain, and we're not looking for work that rushes to resolve it. We want to see the in-between — searching, surviving, breaking through, holding on. Work that betrays the dark by refusing to let it have the final word. Throughout the month, the gallery will also host community workshops and healing sessions led by mental health professionals and practitioners across a range of modalities, so this show lives alongside real support, not just imagery of struggle. What We're Looking For Original work in any visual medium (painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, mixed media, fiber, printmaking, etc.) Work that engages authentically with mental health — grief, anxiety, depression, resilience, recovery, identity, isolation, connection, or hope Artists at any stage of their career; lived experience matters as much as formal training
