Common Ground: The Art of Balance and Contrast

April 27 - June 10

Common Ground: The Art of Balance and Contrast

Ryan Law
Space Between Us

We live in a time when conflict seems inevitable and achieving balance seems unlikely, from the smallest aspects of life to issues of major significance. It is challenging to have open dialogue if we assume society is polarized beyond return. Has it always been this way? Are our differences as deep as we imagine? How will we make the world a better place if we don’t work to find common ground? How can art-making help us and heal us as we engage in the process?

Collaborative works between artists who may work in different media are encouraged for this exhibition.  A monetary prize will be awarded for Best Collaborative Work.

This exhibition call is inspired by Winter Fishtrap’s theme “Can We Talk?” It is our hope to add the voices of visual artists to the dialogue initiated by Winter Fishtrap 2024.
