​​Centered on the Center is an annual open call, non-juried, salon-style exhibition featuring 128 artists and 218 works of art. ​Local, regional and national artists are invited to participate. For over 20 years, Centered on the Center has promoted our mission of providing opportunity for the community and artists to share in a climate of education, experimentation and experience.

HBAC Artist Council Communications Chair, Sonja Krastman shares her experiences submitting artwork to Centered on the Center through the years on our blog The Muse. 

"For those who have never participated, the act of displaying work in a show like Centered on the Center, is really an act of self-love, of declaring oneself an artist and of revealing one’s authentic self. It’s a chance to feel the rain against your skin and realize that you won’t melt." -Sonja Krastman
