On the Edge: Abstraction at Work

On view in the Carnegie Arts Center Lobby Gallery January 20 - April 25, 2026

From a gently distorted perspective to the extreme of a non-objective composition, abstraction can be employed in a wide spectrum, often forcing us to question what we see. This juried exhibition will consider how artists use abstraction to amplify, distort, and push the limits of objective reality—or eliminate it altogether.

Entry Deadline: Saturday, December 13, 2025, at 5 p.m.

All Media Accepted: including, but not limited to Oils & Acrylics, Photography & Digital Media, Prints, Drawings, Watercolors, Collage & Mixed Media, Textiles, Ceramics, Sculpture, Decorative Arts

Awards:  Best of Show $500, 2 Awards of Merit

Juror:  John Accurso, Professor of Art, Columbia College, Sonora (https://johnaccurso.weebly.com/)
