Geometrix, a dynamic all-media exhibition that explores the power of shape, structure, and form, will open on Saturday, August 29, from 7:00-9:00 p.m. with a Meet the Artists Reception. From bold abstractions to intricate patterns, the exhibit showcases how artists use lines, angles, curves, and repeated forms to interpret both the natural and built world. Juror Sherry Trachtman will announce the recipient of the Juror’s Choice Award. The event is free and is open to the public.
Geometrix features 60 works selected from 232 submissions, highlighting the remarkable talent and creativity of the region’s artists. The exhibition includes an impressive range of media, including oil, acrylic, watercolor, gouache, photography, collage, ceramics, sculpture, drawing, metalwork, and fiber art.
Reflecting on the jurying process, Trachtman noted the extraordinary diversity and quality of the submissions: “Only a show with a theme can bring together such diversity! I loved how the artists found geometry in nature, objects, grids, repeated forms, light and shadow and more. This crowd really sees!”
Visitors are also invited to participate in selecting the People’s Choice Award by voting in the gallery before September 18.
