“Art does not reproduce the visible; rather, it makes visible.”
- Paul Klee, Creative Credo
We constantly seek to support new artists, new voices, new work. By dedicating an exhibit to abstract art, we hope to attract those new voices as well as provide exposure for our member artists' more experimental, less traditional work. Paintings, drawings, photographs, and digital compositions will be accepted. Sculpture may also be accepted at the gallery's discretion (call or email the gallery to check the specifications of individual pieces).
Beyond Reality: the 2023 Abstract Art Show will be on exhibit in the gallery through the month of April. Plus, you'll have the option of being included in the virtual exhibit and social media. Detailed entry information is below.
