2026 Art in the Loop Project: Home

A bold, graffiti-style illustration on a light blue background featuring a small, sombrero-wearing cartoon skeleton clutching strings attached to large, heart-shaped balloons. The red balloon in the middle reads "We Are Home," and the skeleton is surrounded by flying cacti while he's spraying a can of pink spray paint.

Blossoming Origins by Michelle Briggs

Abuelita’s Kitchen is Home by Vania Soto

A wide, whimsical digital illustration featuring a chaotic and playful scene. There is a pink house with a face and a giant pencil, flying paper, a UFO, stacks of books, cows, scissors, a rubber duck, a board game path, and dozens of quirky characters and objects scattered across a grassy landscape. The clouds, the sun, and a few other objects are taped to the background, implying the world they inhabit is completely drawn on paper.

Home is Imagination by Kai Johnson

Four abstract paintings displayed side by side. Each densely covered in small, irregular brushstrokes that blend into gradient color fields: pink and teal, orange-red and blue, yellow-green and orange, and green and pink.
