Sin Miedo: An Anti-Fascist Art Show,” is a fully grassroots art show that invites the community into creative action against a fascism.
We are a group of artists, activists, curators, and educators in the community who are calling on our community to organize in dissent of the current administration, and in the name of justice, unity, love, and peace. This is the time to express our anger, pain, and grief, and channel it towards positive collective action.
Our space welcomes:
emotion, pain, discomfort, and critical dialogue. We will work to build emotional safety and trust in order to have these necessary conversations.
careful listening, thoughtful speech, and care for everyone.
accountability of ourselves and others, and “calling in” when harm is done.
anger that is ready to be channeled towards action.
We are doing this out of deep love for our community, to create a space for all who participate to feel safe, seen, supported, open, empowered, and united. If you agree with these intentions, share our vision, and commit to doing your best to build love in our community, come heal with us through art.
Ready to take action? Please submit and get involved! If you want to get involved or are an organization that would like to collaborate with, send us a message.

CALL FOR ENTRY: Sin Miedo: An Anti-Fascist Art Show
The political landscape in the United States is changing. As artists, we have a responsibility to use our creativity to respond, reclaim, resist, and paint the visions of the future we dream of. This community-led exhibition seeks to capture the pulse of our time while transmuting our anger into building a space of collaboration, unity, equity, and justice.
As of February 20, 2025, this administration has undertaken a series of significant executive orders that have hurt our communities. To list a few: the violence towards migrants, ICE separating families, declaring a national "border emergency", redefining birthright citizenship, denial of climate change, attacks on national Parks, rolling back DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) initiatives, banning books, recognized only two genders, opposing the equality act, appointing anti LGBTQ+ judges, denying healthcare, removing inclusive language from all government websites, restricting funds for the arts, attacking students, dismantling the department of education, issuing pardons for those who participated in the January 6 Capitol riots, thousands of layoffs, DOGE, Musk taking over our government, and they used social media to promote hate. When it comes to foreign Policy: the administrations has continued support genocide, supports Russia attacks, and the Tariffs, tariffs, tariffs. This list continues to grow and it's difficult to list them all.
