Influenced by this year's Renaissance theme, this resident art exhibit will add some color and flair while providing residents the opportunity to showcase their talents. Most art will be shared digitally at the conference while a selected few artworks that best demonstrate the Renaissance theme will have their original pieces on display. ARt submissions are now closed. Come check out the art April 8-10 at the Kalahari at #TALA2026!
