What's Your Sense of Place?

We're thrilled that accomplished artist Juan Alonso has volunteered to curate our first exhibition, "A Sense of Place."
Place can mean so many things to different people. It can be geographic, the landscape we see in front of us, or the ones that appear in our dreams. It can be about community, inclusion, exclusion or all the fragile points in between.
Juan was born in Havana, Cuba and his father sent him to the United States when he was only 9 years old. It was the last time he saw his father. It was also the last time he was in Cuba. Still, memories of his family and the streets of Havana pervade his art.
What does place mean to you? We invite you to share a comment, or submit your work by June 3rd. Here's a link to download the Call for Entries and submission form. We'd love to see your place in our place.
