440 Gallery proudly announces the 2021 Summer Theme Exhibition, “Patterns,” featuring twenty-nine artists selected from a national call-for- art. This show of twenty-eight multi-media works is a collection of contemporary art with the subject of pattern in both everyday and special situations interpreted by each artist. Abstraction, implied realism, sculptural effects, and time-based works are some of the processes explored. Juror Sarah E. Brook has curated the show as a means of broadening geographic participation and thematic content for the gallery. 440 Gallery’s annual Summer Theme Exhibition is popular with art followers and collectors alike, as a showcase for bringing new talent and voices to our space.
