The Alexey von Schlippe Gallery at UConn Avery Point invites artists of eastern Connecticut to submit two-dimensional artworks that speak to human experience and community. All Together Now references the music hall tradition of inviting everyone to join in singing. The call for art celebrates diverse visual expressions that highlight human relationships, varieties of culture and points of view, and our understanding of the natural world. Themes can include harmony and difference, the individual and the collective, world building, and our environment and its future. The themes and subjects for this exhibition can be expressed using symbol and metaphor. Artists are encouraged to consider the broadest interpretation of this call. Abstract, conceptual, representational, and traditional realist styles will be considered.

All Together Now will also feature artworks by the children of Expressiones Cultural Center in New London, Connecticut, which will be displayed in the Alexey von Schlippe room of the gallery.
