Arts Garage Announces 'Good Trouble' Call to Artists

Online Exhibit Invites Artists Worldwide; Visual Arts Exhibition Serves as Platform for Awareness, Protest, Reflection, and Transformation

DELRAY BEACH, FL, UNITED STATES, October 7, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Arts Garage, a Visual & Performing Arts Venue located in Delray Beach that connects the community to the world through the arts, has announced an international call to artists for its upcoming visual arts exhibition: Good Trouble. Curated by President & CEO Marjorie Waldo, the yearlong online exhibition invites artists everywhere to submit work that becomes a platform for awareness, protest, reflection, and transformation.

Open to artists of all ages, nations, backgrounds, and beliefs, Good Trouble will run from January 2 through December 31, 2026. Submissions are now being accepted at https://artsgarage.org/good-trouble/. Submissions must adhere to Arts Garage’s community guidelines; hate speech will not be accepted.

Inspired by the enduring legacy of the late U.S. Congressman and civil rights icon John Lewis, the exhibition honors the courage it takes to “speak truth to power” in any country or context. In a time shaped by civic movements, political division, and global debate, Good Trouble seeks to amplify diverse voices and spark dialogue around the challenges and possibilities of our shared future.

“We invite artists from all nations, backgrounds, and beliefs to respond with thoughtful work,” said Waldo. “Whether your art challenges the status quo, affirms personal convictions, or explores the complexities of identity, governance, human rights, or environmental justice—this is your platform to engage, question, and inspire. Let your voice be seen. Let your truth be heard.”

Arts Garage affirms that every form of artistic expression has value, and that art and culture hold the power to blur the lines that divide people and communities. Waldo added, “When we provide a platform for the arts, we create a vehicle for transformation—for individuals, for communities, and for the globe.”
