This year, there is one word that unites us all: flux. To flux is to change and allow space to ebb and flow. This exhibition highlights emerging artists that have found a way to collaborate while in a time where we’re more separate than we’ve ever been.  

In a time when inspiration is difficult to find, these artists worked to reinvent the way they create.  To create from home is to find accessible ways to create, to fluctuate from our comfort zone, and to thrive. This exhibition will feature many materials, from soft sculptures, to painting, to digital works, proving that our limitations can sometimes lead to new and beautiful things.

On Saturday March 25th the FLUX website, https://www.uwflux.com, will go live. You have to see this site. It is a deep and rich dive into all things art. Produced collaboratively by the students, it foregrounds their many skills—organizational, design, retouching, writing, and critical, not to mention their incredible artwork. On the website you will find artists’ bios, interviews, and samples of their production, along with accompanying artist statements.
