Modern Fuel Artist-Run Centre invites members to submit artworks for this year’s Annual Juried Exhibition, a group show responding to the theme Mending Ways.

​

Mending is a process through which we repair interpersonal rifts and physical damage. To intentionally repair requires attention, vulnerability, and embodiment. As an act of service, mending can be collaborative and reciprocal. In a world of increasing division, political polarization, and conflict, how do we reconnect with one another to heal? Mending Ways explores how mending practices can be used to repair our relationships, cultures, and societies—and even ourselves. Artists are invited to submit work that considers how we mend, and the effects of mending on ourselves, our connections, and the world we shape together.

​

We welcome submissions in a wide variety of media, including but not limited to video, sound, painting, photography, textiles, sculpture, written texts, zines, prints, and performance. Essentially, if it can be presented in a gallery setting, it can be submitted for jury consideration. Small-scale site-specific installations and murals are also welcome as submissions to the Annual Juried Exhibition.

​

The exhibition will run in the Main Gallery from May 16th to July 18th, 2026.
