About the Open Call

This exhibition explores the material qualities of art that invite touch—both real and imagined—ranging from smooth to rough and layered to ephemeral. The show seeks artworks that highlight the sensory experience of texture through surface and materiality. A unique aspect of this exhibition is the request for selected artists to provide a small sample piece of their material (if conducive) for visitors to safely handle, bridging the gap between audience and object in a gallery setting.
