West Windsor Arts and The Arc/Mercer Inc. have announced an open call for a collaborative exhibition titled "Together We Are...," inviting artists of all abilities to submit original artwork exploring themes of community, connection, and shared humanity. The deadline for submissions is June 29, 2026, and the exhibition will run from August 11 to September 19, 2026, at West Windsor Arts in Princeton Junction, New Jersey. The show is free to enter, open to artists aged 18 and older, and will be juried by Lisa Sonneborn and Jaggar DeMarco from Temple University's Institute on Disabilities.
This exhibition matters because it centers on accessibility and inclusivity in the visual arts, celebrating diverse abilities and providing a platform for artists who are often underrepresented. West Windsor Arts recently received an "Excellent" rating for its ADA Plan from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, underscoring its commitment to integrating access into all aspects of its programming. By inviting artists to complete the phrase "Together We Are..." alongside their work, the show aims to foster a collective expression of belonging and community, highlighting art's power to bridge differences.
