For the first theme of 2024, we’re focusing on the idea of Regenerative, featuring work by H Conley and Taylor Early.

H and Taylor say, “When thinking about the word ‘regenerative’ and the contexts we usually interact with it in— agriculture, gardening— it felt like an opportunity to visualize our intentions as an organization. Bringing hands into the image, representing sharing and community, the color green evoking plants and growth, and saturating the background with the color of water, we wanted to show our commitment to planting and nurturing the seeds of possibility. To regenerate is to grow again, and in the spirit of the new calendar year and looking towards spring, we hoped to inspire the HRN community to plant new intentions and grow something together— perhaps again, and perhaps anew.”

Background on this project:

As HRN deepens our commitment to food justice and expands our understanding of what that really means in practice, we are putting out the call for artists to adorn the HRN logo throughout 2024. Each month, we will feature the work of BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ visual artists and graphic designers to explore and interpret our monthly editorial theme. Their work will be featured on HRN channels from our newsletter, website, social media, and beyond.

To apply, please send a brief, one-page cover letter and portfolio or work sample to  with the subject line “Editorial Theme Graphic Design” + your name. If selected, you will receive $250 for each final illustration. HRN is accepting applications on a rolling basis.
