Call for Exhibition Submissions!

In September 2023, the FOCUS LAB will present (Y)OUR TOWN, a crowd-sourced exhibit by the People of Troy—its many citizens, commuters, fans and former residents.

In a nod to the Pulitzer Prize-winning 1938 play "Our Town" by Thornton Wilder, (Y)OUR TOWN will reflect the will of the people: YOUR memories of place and YOUR hopes for Troy as captured in YOUR artifacts, family keepsakes, scrapbooks, souvenirs, films, photographs, video and audio. The FOCUS LAB also seeks artworks in all media to share. We are looking for YOUR ART ABOUT TROY.

You can submit your artifacts, art, and media in person by stopping by The FOCUS Lab on Saturdays 10-3.

You can also submit digital copies of your work using this form.

Any questions? Email Cory Palmer, one of the exhibition's curators.
