Opening Reception: Thursday, November 2, 5pm-7pm

Housing Round Table: November 9, 5pm-7pm

LexHAB ‘HOME’ Fundraiser: November 16, 5pm-7pm

LexHAB, an affordable housing organization, and LexArt, announce an exciting new collaboration that links both missions: an art exhibition, titled ‘HOME’, from October 28 through November 19, 2023 at the Nye Gallery in Lexington, MA. The show’s submission period is now open to artists in New England working in all media.

HOME will focus on the theme of ‘home’ and the role of housing in our lives. Whether it is a physical place or an idea, ‘home’ can mean something different at each stage of life and varies by culture and geography. Housing as shelter is a universal human need that is inaccessible for too many, locally and globally.

A shelter is a need, a house can be a haven, a nest can be empty, a home can be inhabitable: climate change, income inequality, racism, violence, love, community, and family are just a few of the factors that impact our concept of home and our ability to attain and maintain a home. We invite you to reflect on this theme and to submit a work of art that shares your perspective on the notion of ‘home’.
