Man-Made and Natural Architecture

Exhibition On View: August 21 - September 18

This exhibition invites artists to explore the tension, harmony, and parallels between the constructed and the organic. From towering skyscrapers and sprawling cityscapes to the intricate architecture of bird nests, flowing rivers, and rugged mountains—this theme celebrates structure in all its forms.

Artists are encouraged to interpret the theme in any way, welcoming both abstract and representational approaches, as well as all styles and mediums. Whether through literal depictions or conceptual explorations, this show seeks to showcase the diverse ways structure influences our environments, imaginations, and sense of place.
