Short Description
We invite you to contribute to our exhibit “Backyard Wilderness: A Coyote in the Parking Lot” at The Confluence: Art in Twisp. The show will run from November 18, 2025, to January 10, 2026. The Call is open August 7 – September 18.
A coyote in the parking lot, a mouse in the house, a hummingbird at the feeder, a bear on the trail; The title of this exhibit comes from experiences we all have had encountering wild animals in places commonly used by humans.
When we overlap so closely with our wild neighbors, what is the outcome? Whose land is this really? How can art give us new ideas and ways of seeing those connections? Jennifer Molesworth and Janet Fagan are teaming up to curate an exhibit that we hope will shine a light on how we can all share the land, sky and water in ways that benefit all.
Curators Janet Fagan and Jennifer Molesworth invite you to explore your connection to your wild neighbors. Who do you share the land, water, and sky with? Whether in your backyard or deep in the wild, who do you see and how can your art tell the story of what you have experienced or would like to experience?
You are invited to create up to 4 pieces of work in any medium, 2D or 3D. This is a holiday show, and work will be sold off the wall in time for seasonal gift giving. Some work will be reserved in the back to replace work that sells.
Eligibility
Number of pieces to submit: Up to 4
Each piece must be:
- Your own original work

Please Note: The curator(s) have the right to refuse work, even after work is delivered to the gallery, if it does not contribute to the direction, cohesiveness, or available space of the show.
