As Vines Art Society walks into its eleventh year, we don’t just celebrate a milestone—we call forth artists, community, and relatives to help carry the bundle of this work forward. This is not about surviving the storm. It’s about knowing how to be in relation, how to hold many at once, how to dream of futures that are free.
We invite artists to bring forward the songs, dances, stories, and forms that their ancestors carried through fire and flood. We ask: how do your teachings move through you? What stories need to be buried, and what ones have roots?
This year, we create a vision for a world that disrupts not through extraction but through interconnectedness, through nourishment, and reminds us who we are.

Vines is an arts organization that is responsive to and nurturing of artists that are working toward land, water, and relational justice.
We enable social transformation by uplifting and creating space for healing that occurs organically within the intersections of art, connection to authentic self, connection to community and connection to land.
