HOME v.2: Homeland
Presented by the Decatur Arts Alliance
Decatur, Georgia
May 29 – July 17, 2026
The Decatur Arts Alliance and the Decatur Land Trust are partnering with the Decatur Library to present the second edition of powerful art show celebrating the multifaceted meaning of “Home.” We invite artists of all mediums to lend their creative voices to this important cause.
The theme for 2026 is “HOMELAND.”
A person’s or a people’s native land, we look to explore “homeland” as a geographical point of origin and a state of being. Works should express cultural and ethnic elements, and elucidate the view of “home” from the immigrant to the expatriate, the displaced to the indigenous. How do we find “home” when we are away from the land of our forebears? What do newly arrived peoples do to preserve their culture and heritage? How do we honor and acknowledge the indigenous inhabitants of the lands upon which we all now live?
We encourage you to explore these themes and more in your artwork. Let your creativity illuminate the diverse ways we experience and define “home,” and pour connection with a “HOMELAND.”
EXHIBITION LOCATION
The exhibition will be installed in the Fourth Floor Gallery of the Decatur Library, part of the DeKalb County Public Library.
RECEPTION
An opening reception is planned for Friday, May 29, 2026 from 6:30-9pm.
