Hindsight is 2020

Type: Exhibition Opportunities [View all]
Posted by: Emerge Gallery & Art Center
Deadline: Sat, September 26th, 2020

We are living in a time when history is being made – the good and the bad. Our response to and the impact of this year will be studied by researchers of various disciplines for years to come. 

Artists are agitators and disrupters, constantly challenging us to rethink the world around us and ultimately to guide us past our limits. Artists are also documenting the way their communities have responded to the pandemic, systemic injustices, and divisive politics. Artists this year have had to adapt to a new set of circumstances that has forced them to see their art and their creative practices differently. They began by producing under new means while sheltering in place and learning the nuances of online exhibitions and performances. Then the artistic conversation evolved to their response to police violence and brutality in communities of color. They took to the streets in the means of public art. As the election approaches, art is our voice when nothing else seems to cut through the noise. Artists are responding in creative and courageous ways by reimagining a world in which caring for one another is our most important pursuit. 

Emerge Gallery and Art Center invites artists to exhibit work in all media that explores the concepts of persisting under challenging conditions and re-imagining the shape of things to come. 

This juried exhibition will be displayed alongside the exhibition, Black Voices Matter, which features the murals painted by local Black artists in response to the recent protests.  

This exhibition is open to artists in any media and subject matter. Artists must be age 18 and up. All work must have been completed this year and never previously exhibited at Emerge. All pieces must fit through a standard sized door. Work must be available for entire exhibition. Video entries are accepted, but special equipment must be provided. Work must be “ready to hang” or will not be eligible.

EXHIBITION DATES: November 6-26, 2020. The opening reception will be held on Friday, November 6, from 5-8pm.
