“Energy Transfer” will feature participatory installations that give the viewer an opportunity to respond with a gesture, according to an event release. It includes installations by artists Hannah Burr, Jessica Frelinghuysen, Megan Heeres and Natalia Rocafuerte.
“Unhurried” brings two mediums together and aims to “give voice to the wonder and solace that nature offers the human spirit,” according to a release. The installation will feature works from ceramic artist Katie Bramlage and printmaker Kath Frajbis.
“It’s thrilling to open our 2023 gallery season with these exciting opportunities centered around our shared humanity,” said A2AC executive director Jenn Queen. “The ability to offer our community the chance to experience this type of art, especially at a time when many of us feel compelled to be and stay busy, is incredible.
“It’s also exciting to kick off our 2023 season, which will be our first full season in our new gallery space. The entire A2AC looks forward to inviting the community into our new space in the heart of our downtown.”
The opening reception for both shows will be open to the public from 6-9 p.m. at the A2AC Gallery at 117 W. Liberty. Some of the participating artists will attend the event.
Exhibition dates:
- “Energy Transfer” - Jan. 28-Feb. 24
- “Unhurried” - Feb. 3-26
