From the Ground Up: NYC Group Exhibition, Juried by Erika b Hess
Visionary Art Collective is partnering with Warnes Contemporary in New York City to present our annual in-person juried group exhibition, From the Ground Up, curated by Erika b Hess.
From the Ground Up: Contemporary Landscape is an exhibition that explores how artists investigate the landscape today. Framed as a point of departure rather than a fixed view, the landscape becomes a jumping off point. From abstracted terrains and constructed environments to fleeting moments of light in plein air, artists engage the landscape to examine perception and how it relates to culture, politics, and memory. By implementing various ways of making such as abstraction, realism, invention and experimental forms, artists turn to the landscape to contemplate and question how we see and what we deem valuable in our surroundings.
We invite submissions across all disciplines that engage landscape—urban or rural, real or imagined, material or symbolic to submit their work for consideration.
From the Ground Up will be presented at Warnes Contemporary in Brooklyn on April 23, 2026 and will run for approximately six to eight weeks. This exhibition will be actively promoted across social media through Visionary Art Collective and Warnes Contemporary, with all works available on Artsy. In addition, a select number of artists will be featured in New Visionary Magazine.
Eligibility: Artists of all career levels based in the United States are welcome to apply.
We accept all 2D & 3D mediums, including painting, drawing, photography, digital, prints, fiber art, collage, mixed media, sculpture, ceramics, and installation art. Film and video are not accepted at this time. We don't have specific size requirements for this exhibition.
Erika b Hess is a painter, the Sydelle Sonkin and Herb Segull Artistic Director of Visual Arts at the Chautauqua Institution, and the creator of the art podcast I Like Your Work. Her paintings have been exhibited internationally, with shows in New York City, Brooklyn, Detroit, Los Angeles, Boston, Philadelphia, and London. Recent group exhibitions include MiddleRoom Gallery in Los Angeles; Bridgette Mayer Gallery in Philadelphia, PA; Fowler-Kellogg Art Center in Chautauqua, NY; Contemporary Art Matters in Columbus, OH; and Bomb Factory in London, England.
Hess has curated numerous exhibitions and served as a juror for various awards and publications, including the Cambridge Art Association (MA), Gallery 263 (MA), Riffe Gallery (OH), Piano Craft Gallery (MA), SOA Gallery at the Chautauqua Institution (NY), Friend of the Artist publication, Create! Magazine, All SHE Makes, and Women United ART, among others. She has also participated in panels at SCOPE Art Fair (Miami), the Cleveland Institute of Art, and Boston University.
In addition, Hess frequently lectures at colleges and universities such as American University, Wellesley College, Pratt Institute, Massachusetts College of Art and Design, and the University of Montana, among others.
She maintains an active studio practice in both Columbus, OH, and Long Island City, NY, where she keeps a select inventory of her work. Hess is represented by Contemporary Art Matters in Columbus, OH. She earned her BFA from Wright State University and her MFA from Boston University.

The City of Auburn, WA is seeking a public artist(s) whose artwork would enhance Centennial Viewpoint Park: whether by framing the view, either literally or figurately, or creating a place for visitors to experience this beautiful natural environment in a moment of reflection.
Centennial Viewpoint Park (located at 402 Mountain View Dr., Auburn, WA) was developed by the Auburn Rotary Club during Auburn's Centennial year celebration in 1991. As its name implies, it is blessed with tremendous views of the Green River Valley, the Cascade Range, and Mount Rainier beyond. The 0.7 acre park is tucked into a small spot along Mountain View Drive, across the road from Mountain View Cemetery. This small park functions primarily as a scenic overlook.
Artworks for this project must not be made of bronze, with a preference placed on sturdy artworks with low maintenance and easy long-term care and touch-up abilities when/if exposed to vandalism.

Description
From December 4, 2025– February 21, 2026, CoCA will present the latest incarnation of its storied series exploring contemporary art, the CoCA Annual, a juried group exhibition seeking work from emerging as well as established artists in the Northwest and worldwide. For the 25th edition, CoCA is proud to announce Joseph DeLappe as juror.
Joseph DeLappe, (American, b. 1963), is an artist, activist and educator, currently working in Scotland, where he is the Professor of Games and Tactical Media at Abertay University, Dundee. Working with electronic and digital media since 1983, his projects in online gaming performance, sculpture and electromechanical installation have been shown throughout the world. Considered a pioneer in the critical and creative engagement of video games, performance, activism and community-based practices, DeLappe co-edited INCITE: Digital Art and Activism (Peacock Visual Arts) with art historian and curator Dr. Laura Leuzzi in 2023. In 2017 he was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in the Fine Arts.
www.delappe.net. We are grateful to him for the following description of the exhibition:
We Don’t Need This Fascist Groove Thang
The world we inhabit is in a state of ongoing upheaval. We have witnessed the onslaught of authoritarianism in the USA, with escalating attacks on civil rights, immigrants, the degradation of freedom of speech and expression, reversals on reproductive autonomy, the erasure of LGBTQIA+ rights, etc. Our collective landscape continues to grow more volatile. We have lived through the global pandemic, witnessed systemic state violence against minorities, witnessed the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the brutal genocide in Gaza, intensifying climate catastrophes, and felt the shockwaves of Roe v. Wade being overturned. The ongoing erosion of democratic institutions, and the weaponization of digital technologies have only deepened the sense of instability.
In these struggles, is it possible, even necessary, for artists, technologists, writers, and activists to imagine alternative futures, challenging dominant narratives, and carve out spaces of truth, dissent, and hope?
We Don’t Need This Fascist Groove Thang is a call for artworks across all media that respond to our current moment of intersecting crises. We are seeking works that confront, question, and resist the politics of authoritarianism, nationalism, and hate, while also proposing creative strategies for care, solidarity, survival, and beauty.
We welcome submissions in any form—visual art, performance, games, writing, film, sound, installation, digital media, and hybrid practices. This exhibition is rooted in the belief that creativity is both a tool of resistance and a catalyst for change. Let’s come together to insist that another world is possible—and that we don’t need this fascist groove thang!
The deadline for submissions is midnight on Sunday, November 9 There will be a series of opening receptions, all on the Pioneer Square ArtWalk on First Thursday, December 4, January 1st, and February 5 at CoCA’s Pioneer Square location inside the Tashiro Kaplan Building at 114 Third Ave. South, Seattle, 98104. Other related events and performances will be determined from the submissions.
Artists in any region and any country are welcome to submit. A $500 first prize, $250 second prize, and $150 3rd prize will be awarded by the juror, as well as up to two $50 “honorable mentions” featured on CoCA’s website and become part of the ongoing 45-year archive (Prize monies in USD). A catalog of the show will feature artists’ statements, biographies, and images, as well as a short introductory essay by the juror.
How to Apply
