2026 Inaugural Community Art Exhibition · New York, NY
A NYC showcase amplifying the lived experiences of endometriosis through art. Join us as an artist, sponsor, or guest to help bring this invisible condition into powerful public view.
The exhibition exists to change how chronic illness and women's health are seen, discussed, and understood through art.
This exhibit celebrates the stories, struggles, and resilience of women navigating chronic pain, reproductive health challenges, and the journey toward proper diagnosis.
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition in which tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, often causing severe pain, fatigue, organ dysfunction, and infertility.
Despite affecting an estimated 1 in 10 women and people assigned female at birth, endometriosis remains one of the most under-recognized medical conditions globally. On average, individuals wait 7–10 years for an accurate diagnosis.
For many, the illness remains invisible to others — existing privately within the body while daily life continues outwardly unchanged.
Conversations about endometriosis have traditionally occurred within medical spaces. While medical research and treatment are essential, they do not fully capture the lived experience of chronic illness.
Pain, identity, grief, resilience, and embodiment cannot be measured solely through clinical language. Cultural silence surrounding women's health has contributed to misunderstanding, stigma, and delayed recognition of suffering.
Art offers another way of knowing. Through visual expression, storytelling, and creative practice, artists can translate complex bodily experiences into forms that invite empathy, dialogue, and deeper understanding.
Art has long played a role in shaping public understanding of social issues, from mental health to disability rights to gender equity.
Through exhibitions, publications, podcasts, and community programming, FLARE uses art to transform private experiences into shared cultural dialogue.
FLARE invites artists of all backgrounds to submit work for our upcoming exhibit exploring the lived experiences of women with endometriosis. We welcome artwork that reflects personal narratives, abstract interpretations, or related medical and emotional experiences.
Submit ArtworkWe encourage you to submit early. Don't worry if this is your first submission — FLARE values authenticity and perspective above all else.
As the founder of FLARE, I want to personally encourage you to share your story through your art. Whether you are expressing your own journey living with endometriosis, or exploring what it's like to support and witness someone you love navigate this disease, your voice matters.
Joining this exhibit is more than submitting artwork — it's connecting with a community of creators who understand, who have lived similar experiences, and who are committed to spreading awareness.
By putting your work out into the world, you are turning personal experiences into a collective message, giving visibility to what is often invisible. At FLARE, we believe CREATIVITY = VISIBILITY — together we can make art the world cannot ignore, art that brings endometriosis into focus and makes the disease impossible to overlook.
Your story, your perspective, your art — they all matter, and we can't wait to see them come to life in this powerful exhibit.
Keep creating, keep healing — Priscilla
