The HeART of Resilience

The HeART of Resilience is an exhibition presented by Flaunt Flat Revolution and hosted by Art on Main in Dallas, Texas. This call invites artists to submit works that visually narrate the transformative journey of breast cancer survivors as they reclaim their bodies and identities after surgery. The exhibition seeks works in painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, sculpture, and ceramics that celebrate empowerment, healing, and resilience.

Artists of all backgrounds are welcome to interpret themes of resilience, transformation, and self-acceptance, whether or not they have personal experience with breast cancer. Suggested themes include: the power of free will and bodily autonomy, reshaping attractiveness and challenging conventional standards, the journey of transformation and healing, confidence and self-love, and symbols of strength and resilience. The exhibition will run from October 21 to November 8, 2025, with an opening reception on October 25 and closing reception on November 7.
