IEA is sponsoring a juried exhibition in the Russell Gallery
at Art Center Morro Bay in Morro Bay, CA.
April 8 - May 5, 2022
Artists' Reception - April 10, 2022
Convergence is the act of separate entities coming together to create something new; a unified whole. In biology it speaks to parallel evolutionary patterns where similar traits spontaneously appear across unrelated species, and the same phenomenon can happen across societies as well.
Convergence happens when knowledge and methods from varied disciplines and cultures come together to spur new thought and innovation.
In a tumultuous era when we can feel divided from one another physically, emotionally, culturally, and politically, the idea of convergence represents hope. What can we do as artists to create bridges; to reach out and pull together rather than push apart?
We invite you to consider and interpret the idea of convergence and submit your work to our new juried show, which will take place in conjunction with our retreat in Morro Bay in April, 2022.
Entries will open in November, 2021, so stay tuned for the formal call for entries in the coming weeks. We are proud to announce that our juror for this exhibition will be Pamela Smith Hudson.
Russell Gallery at Art Center Morro Bay, 835 Main St, Morro Bay, CA 93442
