“Fusion”
National Juried Exhibition
Arc Gallery
San Francisco, CA
May 2, 2015 -June 20, 2015



Fusion is the binding of two or more things into something new that possesses properties of both, incorporating different styles, ideas and designs. In a world where boundaries don't exist and technology provides the ability to connect globally, we can create collaborations and build connections that were impossible in the past. Through creative energy, the fusion of ideas can create new forms, blending cultures, colors, ideas, shapes, designs and intent. Fusion can be the melding of art and science, the conscious and unconscious, the tangible and intangible.

Arc is seeking artwork that expresses Fusion. Show us what Fusion means to you.
