Transformations
August 11, 2017 – September 23

Opening Reception: Friday, August 11, 2017 from 5:30pm – 7:30pm

A common theme of change and transformation ties three separate art exhibitions in each of our galleries together. Alchemy will be displayed in the Whitlow Gallery. This group show is a  two year project involving fifty Kalamazoo artists and writers. Their focus is on three alchemical areas—alchemy as precursor to modern chemistry, Jung’s treatise on the transformative self, and the four alchemical colors: nigredo, albedo, citrinitas, and rubedo, each of which speaks to a distinct phase of creativity. The Williams Gallery will feature the artwork of Kunga Nyima Drotos. His inspiration comes from the practice of meditation in his daily life. Kunga’s paintings show how everything in life is impermanent and interdependent. Our Riverwalk Gallery will display drawings and paintings by local artist Clement Teo. His work ranges from tight black and white drawings to organic paintings. 

The Box Factory for the Arts is searching for talented local artists to display their artwork for both the upcoming Member’s Show and the 2018 Gallery Exhibition Season. The annual Member’s Show is coming up fast and we are looking for Berrien Artist Guild members to exhibit their artwork at this year’s show. The deadline for both submissions is Saturday, September 30, 2017.

To apply please contact Cara Garnett at cgarnett@boxfactoryforthearts.org
