Express Yourself - Wearable Art
March 26 - May 6, 2026
At Olio, we believe art is meant to be experienced—sometimes even worn. Express Yourself – Wearable Art invites artists to explore the space where art, craft, and personal expression meet the human body. This exhibit celebrates wearable works as both visual art and lived experience—pieces that move, shift, and tell stories through form, texture, and material. We welcome submissions in all media, including fiber, textiles, metal, glass, paper, found materials, mixed media, and experimental approaches. Works must be functional and wearable: subtle or bold, traditional or unexpected, but should be created with the body in mind. From garments and accessories to sculptural adornments, this exhibit invites artists to use the body as a canvas and viewers to imagine art beyond the wall. Come share work that reflects who you are, what you value, and how you see the world—because self-expression looks different on everyone.

Hidden in Plain Sight
June 4 - July 30, 2026
Hidden in Plain Sight invites viewers to slow down and take a closer look. At first glance, the works in this exhibition may appear familiar, simple, or straightforward—but with time and attention, or closer look, something else begins to emerge. Subtle details, layered meanings, and quiet surprises reveal themselves, transforming the way the work is understood.
This exhibition celebrates art that rewards curiosity and careful observation. Whether through illusion, symbolism, or unexpected materials, the featured artists challenge perception and remind us that some of the most compelling stories are the ones quietly waiting to be discovered.
