As significant transitions are evolving on multiple fronts, we are examining and redefining our relationships with one another as well as the physical space we occupy. Recognizing this historic time, the artists of Tarfest 2020’s “Transition” open call juried exhibition respond to core concepts of change with their work. This exhibition brings together artists from across So California whose practices engage with change through process, concept, culture, chance, and more.

 

Launch Gallery presents “Transition” in conjunction with Tarfest- our free multidisciplinary arts festival now in its 18th year.
