Artists and designers are invited to apply to COME|BACK, an online and in-person exhibition that explores the complexities, triumphs, and challenges of our current moment, hosted by the SAIC Wellness Center.

Nearly two years into a pandemic that drastically upended all aspects of life both at SAIC and around the world, elements of life before have returned. Campus buzzes with activity: students pack into elevators, classes tour the Art Institute of Chicago, familiar weekly rhythms reemerge. We’ve come back.

But what does it mean to come back? ...

COME|BACK will exhibit art that addresses the range of emotions and experiences elicited by living through the present. Art provides us with a mode for dwelling in and making sense of the messy, often contradictory nature of everyday life. This exhibition intends to embrace these nuanced responses and manifold perspectives.

COME|BACK is also a beckoning, a call to be together. In whatever way you’re able, please come back. We’ve missed you.
