2026 Spring Membership Show
The Richardson Civic Art Society’s 2026 Spring Membership Show Title,
"Positively Giddy"
Positively Giddy invites artists to celebrate joy in its most vibrant, uplifting form.
This exhibition explores the moments that make the spirit rise—
unexpected laughter, bright energy, quiet contentment, and the kind of happiness that bubbles up and can’t be contained.
Artists are encouraged to interpret “giddy” in their own unique voice, whether through bold color, playful movement,
whimsical touches, or subtle expressions of optimism and emotional lightness.
From imaginative storytelling to abstract bursts of delight, Positively Giddy is a visual celebration
of what it means to feel joy—deeply, creatively, and without apology.
