Back Alley Gallery in Hamilton is accepting submissions for Patterns, a group exhibition exploring the essential role of connections in our lives —how we build them, sustain them, and are nourished by them. Patterns evoke repetition, structure, memory, and the subtle ways relationships and connections form over time. What does it truly look like to be part of something larger than yourself? How does connection, mutual care, and collective identity show up in your work or your world? The title Patterns reflects both visual and conceptual rhythms—repeated gestures, generational knowledge, and the structures (visible or hidden) that hold us together.
This exhibition is looking for work that considers:
- How connections are built and maintained
- The idea of belonging
- The beauty and burden of tradition
- Acts of collaboration, mutual care, and the tension between individual expression and collective experience.
Deadline for submissions is August 3rd, 2025
