Steadfast Companions: Animals and Artists

Art Call Opening: December 5, 2025

Art Call Deadline: January 19, 2026

The HCA Artist Collective is thrilled to announce a call for artwork for “Steadfast Companions: Animals and Artists,” a special exhibition celebrating the creativity of our students, instructors, and community members.


This show invites artists to explore the theme Animals and Artists—whether that’s depicting a beloved pet, capturing the energy of wildlife, or interpreting the bond between humans and animals in your own unique way.


No animal-themed work, but still want to join in? Please submit! Our goal is to showcase the full range of talent within our vibrant HCA community, and we welcome your artistic voice in any form.


Help us create a lively, heartfelt exhibition that celebrates our creativity—and the companions who inspire it.
