8 = Abundance & Reciprocity
A Curated Group Exhibition
Deadline to Submit: June 30, 2026 11:59pm (PST)
Exhibition Dates: August 7 – August 30, 2026
Opening Reception: August 7 (Art Walk)
8/8 Celebration: August 8
8 is a curated group exhibition celebrating eight years of The HeArt Box as a space for art, connection, creativity, and community.
The number eight carries deep symbolism — infinity, cycles, abundance, transformation, balance, and the ongoing flow between giving and receiving. In many ways, it reflects the relationship between artists, community, and creative spaces themselves: an energetic exchange that continues to nourish and shape one another over time.
This exhibition explores abundance not only as material wealth, but as creative abundance, emotional richness, reciprocity, intuition, transformation, and collective connection.
We are looking for work that engages with these ideas in meaningful, unexpected, symbolic, emotional, or visually compelling ways.
We are seeking work inspired by themes such as:
infinity
sacred geometry
mysticism
visionary art
tarot
astrology
portals
ritual
alchemy
interconnectedness
celestial symbolism
manifestation
balance between earthly and spiritual realms
We welcome interpretations that are abstract, symbolic, figurative, conceptual, or experiential in nature.
Artistic Approach
We are particularly interested in work that is:
intriguing and makes you want to look closer
work you can feel — emotionally, energetically, or intuitively
intentional and thoughtfully made
interesting and visually engaging
a little unexpected or out of the box
willing to push limits or explore something new
connected to the themes of this show in some way
alive with the artist’s voice and perspective
honest, expressive, and not afraid to take risks
