Our goal is to represent a diverse array of art projects and people, and maximize our art curation within the constraints of our limited gallery space at Flower Fist Art Market. Selected pieces to be displayed as part of the exhibition will be notified by December 19, 2025.
Our focus is on uplifting local voices, while also welcoming perspectives from beyond Sacramento and California to create meaningful exchange across the country. We want this show to reflect the diversity of ways people are engaging with compost, soil, and climate today: from rural and urban contexts, personal and collective experiences, scientific and imaginative approaches.
We intend to compensate selected artists for their participation, and we will determine the final offer based on the total number of art pieces we are able to curate. All artists may also choose to offer their pieces for sale at the exhibition.
We hope you’ll join us in celebrating the power of soil, compost, and community, and in imagining the regenerative future that they collectively make possible.
Happy creating!
