About Home / by Ely Center of Contemporary Art

August 1- October 31, 2023

Featuring artists from our 2023 Open Call

What does home mean to you?  Home is not just a place, it's a cultural concept. It's not easy to define, but you know it when you're there..It can be a place of domestic bliss and well-being or a place of extreme discomfort, disconnection, or longing. 

Memories of home are often attached to sensory experiences- an aroma of cooking, peeling wallpaper,  mothballs in the attic trunk. The pandemic with lockdown changed the meaning and experience of home and many have redefined what it means. The artists in About Home, through diverse media, present works that look at their relationship with place and security.
