The Responsa Foundation is dedicated to championing projects that create meaningful social impact and foster public engagement. We are delighted to present This Love, a group exhibition to be held at Burgh House, in the heart of Hampstead Village.
We invite artists to submit one artwork exploring the theme of love. Love connects us to people, places, objects, and moments. It is deeply personal yet universal. We seek diverse, thoughtful, and creative interpretations on what love means to you.
OVERVIEW
Artists are invited to submit:
➤ One artwork responding to the theme of love
➤ A short written response to the question: what does love mean to you? (50 words max)
ARTWORK GUIDELINES
Any medium i.e. painting, collage, textiles, sculpture, photography, mixed media, etc.

This will be judged equally alongside the artwork – creativity is encouraged
