Metamorphosis: The Art of Transformation
February 13 - March 10, 2025
The laws of physics state that matter cannot be created or destroyed. Therefore, all artistic media—paints, fabrics, papers—have gone through a process of metamorphosis to unite as a finished work of art. The 2025 Dittmar Memorial Gallery Community Show, Metamorphosis: The Art of Transformation, examines this process of transformation.
By inviting artists to create art using varied media, this exhibition investigates the mediums artists use and how unique applications and combinations of artistic media can stretch the boundaries of art and tell stories of change, evolution, and transformation.
We explore the question: How can the evolution of art mirror the evolution of ourselves and the world?
