Forage - Ocean

FORAGE 

Welcome to our second annual group show, Forage. We are interested in seeing works that explore reuse, found objects, or the repurposing of elements. This year, the focus will be on the theme of Ocean, and show activations will incorporate a local charity partner focusing on ocean preservation and restoration. 

Please use the artist statement field to tell us about your intentions and process with these elements.
