Open Exhibition, 2023-2024
• Connected Invitational
March 31st - May 15th, 2025
Opening: April 6th, 1:00 - 2:30
Our artists exhibit two works that share a unique connection.
• YWCA Hanover’s “2025 Artists' Voices” Series Exhibit
May 18th - June 26th, 2025
Opening: May 18th, 1:00 - 2:30
Submission information deadline: April 17th
Works by regional women artists. The call is now available and submissions are being accepted via the form noted in the call:
• Sustenance
June 29th - August 21st, 2025
Opening: June 29th, 1:00 - 2:30
We often think of food when thinking of this term, but artists will be given room to explore other uses of the word.
• “Panel” Discussion
August 24th - October 16th, 2025
Opening: August 24th, 1:00 - 2:30
All art will be on cradled wood panels, 12” x 12”, with a depth of 1 ½”. Works such as found art, montages, etc., may extend past the depth of the panel. 3D artists may also lay the 12” x 12” panel flat for display on a table.
Art may be created directly on the panels, or the art may be glued or otherwise attached. Attach the hanging wire 4” down on each side, keeping it tight enough that it is not visible above the panel when hung.
Panels may be any brand, but here are a few places to find them:

• Domestic Violence Awareness Month: “Resilience”
October 19th, 2025 - November 6th, 2026
Opening: October 19th, 1:00 - 2:30
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, intended to unite advocates across the nation in their efforts to end domestic violence. In conjunction with the YWCA Hanover Safe Home, we’ll examine the theme of “resilience” in our art. Artists are encouraged to explore the word and theme via the medium of their choice.
• Repetition
November 9th, 2025 - January 8th, 2026
Opening: November 9th, 1:00 - 2:30
Artists will again have some room regarding the topic. Perhaps it's a repeating color pattern, or maybe there will be small mice throughout. The artist decides what repeats and if it is subtle or obvious.
