Current Exhibition: Synthesis
Biologically speaking, synthesis occurs when varying elements come together to create a new form. The varying elements of this showcase represent the individual creative expressions that make up the current teaching body of the Barnsdall Arts Center and Junior Arts Center, as well as a synthesis between old and new.
After three years of having our doors closed due to the pandemic and construction, we are beginning again with a new experience to add to the rich history of this creative community. This includes our Teaching Artists, students, families, and visitors who have come together to create a unique environment. We anticipate seeing this collective evolve into yet another expression of community and art at the Barnsdall Junior Arts Center Gallery.
Showcasing artworks by previous and current Teaching Artists, the show represents the breadth of individual teacher’s personal works related to/or not related to their teaching focus
We’d like to acknowledge the creativity, and ingenuity of all previous Barnsdall teachers who have served in furthering the imaginations of children and adults throughout the years, and cultivating the community that makes the BAC and BJAC a unique place.
We also acknowledge our current teachers who are planting seeds of potential creations that will transform the community in the coming years.
