Enter by: 29 March 2029
The theme for 2026 is “Homeland.” A person’s or a people’s native land, Decatur Arts Alliance looks to explore “homeland” as a geographical point of origin and a state of being. Works should express cultural and ethnic elements. Elucidate the view of “home” from the immigrant to the expatriate, and the displaced to the indigenous. How do we find “home” when we are away from the land of our forebears? What do newly arrived people do to preserve their culture and heritage? How do we honor and acknowledge the indigenous inhabitants of the lands upon which we all now live?
The Home Exhibition is a juried multimedia showcase presented by the Decatur Arts Alliance in collaboration with the Decatur Land Trust and the Decatur branch of the Dekalb County Public Library. The exhibition will be shown in the Fourth Floor Gallery of the Decatur Library in Decatur, Georgia, home to the Georgia Center for the Book. The show will run May 29 – July 17, 2026, with an opening reception on Friday, May 29 from 6:30-9pm.

- Student Award: $500
Occasionally, the City of Decatur and other local institutions select artwork to be purchased as part of their collections. All purchases and awards will be publicly announced on the exhibition website. Each institution has its own procurement procedures, so payment may take longer to process for institutional purchases. While the Decatur Arts Alliance works to ensure timely payment to artists, funds disbursements from outside institutions are not within the organization’s control and may result in delays.
