"Blank Slate" | Studios Gallery
The Inaugural Exhibition of The Studios Gallery
For six months, The Studios sat empty following a flood and extensive renovations. What was once disrupted has become an opportunity to begin again.
"Blank Slate" celebrates that new beginning.
As the inaugural exhibition of The Studios Gallery, Blank Slate invites artists to consider the possibilities that come with starting fresh. We are looking for original work that feels bold, thoughtful, unexpected, experimental, or simply represents a new direction.
There is no single interpretation of a blank slate. It may mean beginning again, taking a risk, changing direction, clearing away what came before, or approaching familiar ideas in a completely new way.
We invite artists to show us what "Blank Slate" means to them.
