Bounty and Belonging: The Art of Abundance

The Cora McCorvey Health and Wellness Center announces their spring and summer group fine art exhibit, “Bounty and Belonging: The Art of Abundance” with an open call to Minnesota based artists to exhibit 2D work who are age 50 and above.

What does it mean to belong—not just to be included, but to thrive? How do we move beyond scarcity and isolation into a space of richness, connection, and creative abundance?

Bounty and Belonging: The Art of Abundance invites artists to explore the ways in which communities claim space, build networks of care, celebrate the wealth of culture, history, and the world around them. This exhibition challenges the myth of scarcity and embraces a vision of belonging rooted in shared creativity, mutual support, and the affirmation that there is more than enough—of love, of heritage, and possibility—to go around.

We are seeking works that illuminate the ways abundance manifests in our lives, whether through food and nourishment, ancestral knowledge, radical hospitality, or the bold act of taking up space. How do we create belonging? How do we cultivate plenty? How does art itself serve as a source of bounty? Let’s create a space where belonging is claimed, nurtured, and celebrated.

Please complete the online application by Friday, March 28, 2025.

All selected artists will be notified by Wednesday, April 9, 2025 with further instructions to complete an exhibition contract and drop their work off during open drop off hours tentatively scheduled for late April – early May at the Cora McCorvey Health and Wellness Center.

All selected artists will be paid a $50 stipend, receive a custom swag bag gift, and be welcome to keep 100% of any sales made. 

The opening reception for this exhibit is also scheduled for Saturday, May 17, 2025 from 1pm to 4pm. This event is free and open to the public and everyone is welcome to attend.

Artists may submit up to five 2D works for consideration.
