Exhibition On View July 23 – August 20, 2026

Winning Theme: The Abstract Mind

The Abstract Mind is a theme that explores an artist’s inner landscape of thoughts, emotions, and perceptions. Whether through literal representation like serenity in the form of calming waves, or complete abstraction with wild colors and striking forms, these works translate mental and emotional states into images that reveal how ideas and feelings take shape.  SCAHC invites artists to create work to fit this theme! 

Entry Forms will be coming soon.

Once this show is On View, gallery visitors can vote for their favorite piece up until Saturday, August 15 at 3PM.

The most popular piece will win our People's Choice Award, which will be presented during the
Reception and Award Presentation on Saturday, August 15 from 6 - 7:30 PM.
