Call for Artists - OUR RADIANT CULTURES

2026 HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH EXHIBITION



Radiant Market by Manual Macarulla

CALL FOR ARTISTS: Our Radiant Cultures~2026 Hispanic Heritage Month Exhibition


This exhibition aims to empower and honor our peoples’ rich traditions on Hispanic Heritage Month. We invite local artists to explore the multifaceted tapestry of our Latin American ancestry through expressive art including painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, collage, photography, digital, and mixed media; expressing our delight in the mosaic of diverse customs, traditions and aspirations that have all come together in what we call El País de la Oportunidad/The Land of Opportunity. Westbury Arts invites artists of Hispanic/Latino heritage to submit their original work for a juried show at the Westbury Arts Gallery located at 255 Schenck Avenue in Westbury, NY.

 

This exhibition will be curated and will feature, in addition to your work, the art of Manuel Macarrulla. Mr. Macarrulla is a painter, printmaker, and mask maker whose work has been exhibited in museums and galleries in New York and throughout the U.S. and the Dominican Republic. He studied painting at the University of Pennsylvania under Neil Welliver and Rackstraw Downes and many others. His work with figures in settings relating to his native Dominican Republic, or other real or imagined places, integrates cultural significance and magic realism.

Call for Artists - Open Studio

Westbury Arts is interested in sponsoring an Open Studios Weekend Event in the Spring of 2027. Participating artists would open their studios for a pre-determined amount of time (about 6 hours) on Saturday and Sunday for visitors to view, discuss, and purchase artwork. Artists can also provide brief demonstrations if they are so inclined. We envision this as an opportunity for our artists to engage with a larger audience, widen their art contacts, and find additional opportunities for showing their work.


We are looking for artists who have studios within a convenient driving distance from Westbury. If you are interested, please fill out this brief Google form and return to us by August 31, 2026. A selection committee will notify the artists of acceptance.
