Call for Artists: “Liberty and Labor” Women’s History Month Art Exhibit

Wistariahurst Museum is seeking artist submissions for the Fourth Annual Women’s History Month juried art showcase for the month of March. This year, the theme is women’s labor and community.

“Liberty and Labor” is an exhibit that corresponds with Massachusetts’ 250th anniversary and Liberty and the Learning initiative. This exhibit urges artists to consider the efforts women have made throughout history through labor and community building. Historically, Women’s labor has been undervalued and overlooked. Oftentimes, the work women have done in areas such as homemaking, community building, and parenting, has not even been viewed as work. “Liberty and Labor” aims to highlight these efforts, and others, that showcase the hard work and dedication of women throughout history.

All mediums are welcome for submission. Submissions are open to anyone who identifies as a woman and non-binary artists of any age. Artists are welcome to submit 3-4 pieces, with high-quality images. Artists can submit their work through the online submission form linked below. Submissions are being accepted through February 10th, 2026.

Wistariahurst is an artist-friendly space that encourages creativity and supports the growth of this region’s artists. All questions are welcome and encouraged. Up to five artists will be selected as featured artists and will be awarded a $100 stipend.

This program is funded in part by a grant from the Holyoke Local Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.

Submissions are due February 10th, 2026. Submissions are accepted through the submission form:
