“Space Between” delves into the complexities of the human condition, exploring the unseen realms that shape our existence. This exhibition utilizes the power of art to illuminate the spaces between myth and reality, consciousness and subconscious, and intuition and logic.

The artworks presented here act as portals, inviting viewers to navigate the intangible spaces that define our experiences. By confronting these spaces, we gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us. Themes of isolation, connection, and the search for meaning will resonate throughout the exhibition, prompting introspection and dialogue.

Drawing inspiration from the rich tapestry of human mythology, the works explore the universal themes that connect us across cultures and time. By investigating the space between the literal and metaphorical, the artist challenges our perceptions and invite us to consider the deeper forces at play in our lives.

Ultimately, “Space Between” seeks to celebrate the power of intuition and the human capacity for self-discovery. Through engagement with these artworks, viewers are empowered to explore the gaps and silences within themselves, fostering a sense of connection and shared humanity.

Torpedo Factory Art Center will now be accepting applications for Resident Artists — individuals or groups of up to four — who will earn three-year studio leases and Artists Pro Tem — individuals who will earn the ability to sublease and participate in the Art Center programming.

 

Applicants accepted as Resident Artists shall receive a three (3)-year studio lease with publicly subsidized rent. The partially blind three-phase process allows a team of four expert, independent jurors to review work for quality and merit.

Applications will be accepted for individual artists who want a studio, or to become an Artist Pro Tem, or groups of up to four (4) artists that wish to share a studio. Each application is scored as a single applicant, be it an individual application or a group application. The application is in three (3) phases.

 

Earning a studio at the Art Center is a competitive process. Industry standards for artist communities around the world call for re-jurying an average of every 3–5 years to maintain competition, quality, and evolving art-world standards.  READ MORE HERE
