Elemental Connections explores the invisible threads that bind us to one another and to the natural world. Through works inspired by nature and the human experience, the artists in this exhibition invite viewers to reflect the human experience and the natural elements around us as shared experiences that connect all living things.
Just as the elements intertwine to sustain life, our individual stories, experiences, and relationships weave together to create a larger collective whole. At its heart, Elemental Connections is a celebration of our shared humanity - that despite our differences, we are all part of the same natural environment uniting us all.
All mediums are welcome, including but not limited to painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, mixed media, fiber, and printmaking.
Artists of all backgrounds and career stages are encouraged to apply.
