2020 EXHIBITION: DISRUPT
The Vancouver Metal Arts Association and Craft Council of BC present DISRUPT, a juried group exhibition of artists whose work and creative practices explore and discover new materials, techniques and challenge the status quo. These artists experiment and take risks with ideas and materials, and the exhibit includes pieces with concepts and materials that push the expectations of adornment.
The Craft Council of BC gallery is currently closed to accommodate physical distancing measures. However, the show is now viewable online as a virtual exhibit. It's a whole other experience!
