NewsWave & Sonder Collective

Studio Arts Exhibition

Thursday, May 7, to Thursday, May 14

2G.0 Warren G. Flowers Art Gallery

5 PM – 8:30 PM

Newswave is the upcoming tide of artists reaching the shores of the artworld. In our current politically charged reality, this exhibition will bring you news of our dystopian perspectives. We share our vulnerabilities of what it is to be a human. Through the experience of putting our works in an exhibition together, we see beauty that creates comfort and support. This vision lets us perceive what is beneath the surface of the ocean, the consciousness of our realities.
