*NEW* Tempe Center for the Arts 2025 Summer Exhibition
Seeking applications from Arizona-based artists to apply for three juried opportunities under the umbrella of the Gallery at TCA's 2025 summer exhibition.
Human history is filled with countless examples of pioneering artists and technologies that have helped reshaped the way we see and engage with the world around us. This art exhibition will introduce various art making processes to the public and educate visitors about how the artworld continues to help push the envelope with big ideas and innovation.
For this exhibition we define “Artology” as a branch of study where artists do not see boundaries between disciplines and see all knowledge as a tool for expanding communication between people and developing artistic practices that move us into the future.
