Upcoming Exhibit
Word(scapes)
Exhibit Dates: July 12-September 9, 2022
Where words meet art
Images came first and then words but their romance in art, in society continues. Both are modes of communication, but our brains use different parts to process them. This back and forth inside the brain is what makes this hybrid art more interesting.
Just as a playscape is designed to explore play, Word(scapes) is a juried exhibition that aims to explore, celebrate, and test the fluid lines between the verbal and the visual arts.
This exhibit includes 3D and 2D art created by local and area artists and spans mixed media sculptural pieces, art quilts and other fiber arts, photography, painting, illustration and more.
Thank you, exhibiting artists (see below for the complete listing).
We also thank guest juror, artist, and an Assistant Professor of Practice in the Advertising School at UT Austin, Rohitash Rao, for helping to select art comprising this exhibit and to volunteer curator from Round Rock Arts, Aman Dutta, for her guidance.
