Part homage to these overlooked remnants of the past and part cautionary tale about transience and neglect, the artworks in this exhibition invite viewers to reflect on familiar signs, storefronts, and locations that many of us encounter during our travels and in everyday life.” There is a $30 application fee for non-members ($15 for members).

We welcome submissions of all 2D works, films (shorts and features), 3D works (sculptures and installations), as well as performances (dance, theater, music, etc.). We strongly encourage artists from underrepresented communities and those most impacted by climate change to apply.” There is no application fee.
