This exhibit will show in a hybrid format with a limited number of the selected pieces on display at GPEC’s downtown Phoenix office and the remainder shown in a virtual space. Although the office is not open to the public, various private events bring viewers into the space. Artists will have the opportunity to indicate their preferred display environment when submitting work. Those showcased in the physical space are welcome to visit once the installation is complete. All selected artists will be invited to attend the exhibit opening. Further details will be sent at a later time.
The exhibit is scheduled to run from Nov. 1, 2024 – April 30, 2025.
