Touch & Go: Texture & Movement in Art All-Call Exhibition

April 14 – May 20, 2023

The fundamental elements of composition guide creative decisions, and artists must coordinate between experimentation, intuition, and foresight. In Touch & Go, an open-call exhibition curated by guest juror Libby Garon of Walker Fine Art Gallery, we will be taking a closer look at two of those critical elements: texture and movement. By focusing on these details, we received a wide variety of works, ranging from 2D to 3D, and realism to abstraction. The resulting exhibit features 50 pieces selected out of 225 submissions from nearly 100 artists.
