Flutter

Join us for the opening reception of Flutter, a free community art exhibition and celebration of healing through art!

Stewart’s Caring Place, a cancer wellness center serving over 30 counties in Ohio, has announced a call for art to “Flutter,” a free exhibition for local creatives and artists that will be on display in its Healing Arts Gallery from March to May, 2026. Art x Love is curating the exhibition and accepting submission from now until March 2nd. The opening reception is Friday, March 20th, from 5:00 - 7:00 PM at Stewart's Caring Place.

“Flutter” draws its inspiration from the butterfly in Stewart’s Caring Place’s logo, taking its name from a gathering of butterflies in flight, and celebrates the variety of ways people find strength and inspiration on their healing journey through art.

Interested in submitting your work? The team is looking for finalized photographs, poems, drawings, paintings, sculptures, fiber art, and keepsakes that tell a story. Participants do not have to be professional artists to participate—this exhibit is open to all. Only 1 piece is allowed per artist and all artwork must be ready for display (i.e. wired, framed, etc.). In addition, If the art piece is for sale, 100% of the proceeds go directly to the artist.

“We’ve seen firsthand the power of art for inspiration and healing,” says Sarah Vojtek, President & CEO of Stewart’s Caring Place. “Hundreds of individuals and families walk through our doors every month and remark how pieces in our Healing Arts Gallery resonate with them. We're excited to bring this show back to honor the stories and people we’re so grateful to serve.”
