The Painting Center is seeking submissions for the juried exhibition Under 30 Under Pressure curated by Carrie Patterson. The exhibition will be held in person and on Artsy from June 23 – July 18, 2026, with an opening reception on Thursday, June 25. 

 

In 2026, young people are coming of age amid unprecedented change—marked by political upheaval, climate instability, and pervasive violence. Social media and emerging technologies shape their daily realities, amplifying pressures around identity, visibility, and unattainable ideals, while mental health struggles continue to rise. What does it mean to be young in a world that feels increasingly overwhelming? The exhibition Under 30 Under Pressure invites artists under 30 to respond to this moment, expressing what they think, feel, and witness while navigating a world under pressure. Artists across all styles and mediums are encouraged to apply.
