As our Juror says, 'I appreciated the many different ways that artists interpreted the theme, especially the ways in which they brought new intention to process and media. These entries also made me think more about the role of the artist in response to a catastrophe like climate change: is it to show what is currently happening, or to imagine possible good or bad futures? It was a pleasure to spend time with these works and imagination.'
Join us at our 'Be Intentional' Opening Reception: Friday, September 11, 6–8 p.m, come meet the Artists at The James Center for the Arts, 24 West Street, Norwell, MA. Show runs from Friday, September 11-Saturday, October 17, 2026
Save the Date & Celebrate the book Sleep with Spectators: Feminist Performance and Practice with an author reading and book signing on Friday, October 9, 4-6 p.m. Come meet our juror, Danielle Drees, a scholar of contemporary performance and time-based media. She is the Marsted Curatorial Fellow for Contemporary Art at the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art.
'Be Intentional' is a group exhibition featuring 2D and 3D works that reflect our artistic perspectives. We believe being intentional starts with clarity and specificity. All artists are political and must accept responsibility. Being intentional also means being open about your life's goals, which requires using emotional intelligence to confront everything society might throw at you — and we know it’s a lot during our time!

Margaret Smith, 'Spring brings possibilities', juried by Danielle Krysa, the writer and renowned curator behind The Jealous Curator.
In the artist's words: Spring brings possibility and promise. The warmth of yellow and hot pinks heats things up as the blues and purples ignite the energy of this piece. The energy underneath is unseen but felt.

I am continually captivated by the vibrant colors, intricate textures, and the expansive reach of the land and sea. These elements form a landscape that is in constant motion—ever-changing and fluid.
