Juried Annual Exhibit Featuring Recent Works from Regional and National Artists
The Confluence of Art Annual Exhibition resides each fall in the James W Hansen Gallery at Pablo Center at the Confluence. Regional and national artists submit their work for review for display in the exhibit with 50 works crossing different media, techniques, and motifs selected for display in the exhibit each year.Year after year, the volume and quality of works submitted continue to grow
and is a testament that the arts scene in the Chippewa Valley and beyond is thriving, alive, and well. We welcome guests and artists alike to participate in the exhibit and share in the artistic excellence of our region.
This year’s Confluence of Art Annual introduces a renewed curatorial approach. A juror will thoughtfully review submissions to select the artworks that will be exhibited, and a judge will experience the show in person to determine the award recipients.Each brings a unique perspective and a deep appreciation for creativity, offering new ways to interpret and engage with the visual arts. Together, their insights encourage conversation between artists and audiences and remind us that art can be experienced in many forms and through many lenses.
The goal with this year’s show is to broaden perspectives and build connections. The intent is to continue opening doors and creating opportunities for people to encounter art in new ways, rather than remaining within familiar circles.
By welcoming different voices into the process, the exhibition aims to foster
understanding, curiosity, and a sense of belonging for all who step into the
gallery.
Art has always been about connection. This exhibition celebrates that by inviting us to share space, exchange ideas, and see our community reflected in new and inspiring ways.
