The Shape of Things is a juried exhibition open to all ages 16yrs and older that invites artists to examine the forms, structures, and outlines that define our visual and conceptual world. From literal geometry to abstract patterns, from organic silhouettes to manmade architecture, this show explores how shape serves as both a foundation and a language in artistic expression.

Artists are encouraged to interpret the theme broadly — through formal exploration, metaphor, or narrative. Works may consider how shapes inform perception, identity, space, emotion, or transformation. What does it mean to give form to thought, or to shape something from nothing?

Visual media including painting, drawing, mixed media, print making, sculpture, photography, digital art, textiles, ceramics are represented in this exhibit.

This exhibition seeks to highlight a wide range of approaches — minimalist to maximalist, figurative to abstract — that speak to the enduring power of shape in the creative process.
