About the Exhibition
Open to all
media, “Impact” explores the motivations of the
artist to create. We ask the artist to answer through their
artwork, “What inspires you? Who or what is the driving
force behind your need to create? What has left an impression on
you that lead you to become the artist you are today?”
Whether it is a mentor, an event, a concept, or a personal
revelation, this exhibition will examine the many avenues that
impact the contemporary artist.
