Texture

We invite you to contribute to our exhibit “Texture” at The Confluence. The show will run April 27 - June 12, 2027. The Call is open January 15 - March 24, 2027.

Whether you're experiencing music, food, or visual art, texture brings dimension and depth to just about every creative work. As one of the seven fundamentals in art, texture in the arts can be tactile or created through illusion. This exhibition focuses on all forms of texture in all media. Artists are encouraged to think about how texture plays a role or is specifically used in your work, as you all do!  All media encouraged.
