Where Coastal Beauty, Southern Spirit, and the Human Soul Meet

October 3 – November 7, 2026

​

CALL FOR ARTISTS

​

Soul Flow Gallery invites artists to be part of a special fall exhibition exploring the place where the beauty of the coast meets memory, emotion, spirit, story, and the human experience.

​

The sea may be literal or symbolic.

​

We welcome your interpretation of the Carolina coast, marshes, waterways, wildlife, light, history, community, memory, movement, belonging, transformation—or simply that mysterious pull that brings us back to the water again and again. We aren't looking for twenty-five versions of the same coastal scene.

​

We are looking for your voice, your perspective, and your story.

How does the Sea, Coast, Southport, Southern Spirit flow through you?
