Currents: Annual Members’ Exhibit
Show runtime: May 22 – June 19
Public Reception: May 21, 5:00 – 6:30 pm
Juror: Michael Webster
TACS members’ exhibition, Currents, offers a snapshot of what artists are making and thinking about right now. The show highlights current work across disciplines and the ideas, materials, and questions driving each practice forward. It presents work not as a finished endpoint, but as part of an ongoing process of exploration and development.
Like water currents, artistic practice is always moving—sometimes steady and under the surface, sometimes forceful and directional, always responsive to the conditions around it. Currents speaks to both what is happening now in artists’ practices and the forces shaping where that work is headed.
We encourage all current members across all TACS studios to participate, and welcome submissions in all mediums.
