SUBMISSION DEADLINE | Center Centric: A Group Exhibition that Honors the Rome Art and Community Cent

“Center Centric” is a group art exhibition that honors the Rome Art and Community Center as both muse and meeting ground—a place where art not only adorns walls but also shapes lives. This exhibition brings together artists whose works reflect the spirit, history, and vitality of the Center, capturing its role as a cornerstone of artistic expression and community engagement. Through painting, sculpture, photography, and mixed media, Center Centric explores the many ways the Rome Art and Community Center inspires creation and collaboration. Each piece serves as a visual dialogue between the artist and the place, celebrating the Center’s enduring influence as a hub of imagination and shared experience. The exhibition invites viewers to rediscover the Center not just as a building, but as a living canvas—one that continues to nurture creativity and bring people together through the transformative power of art.
