Transformation
In this exhibit, artists explore two themes: Becoming Changed and An Appreciation of Process. This exhibit represents artists across multiple mediums, with some artwork depicting a physical state of change in nature, cities, objects, or landscapes, while others explore the inner state of being transformed. Artists are able to creatively represent change through spiritual and spatial relationships and honestly depict the challenging nature of change in our own lives, neighborhoods, friendships, and relationships. We hope you enjoy Transformation: An Appreciation of Process.

CHROMA: a Focus on Color
Welcome to CHROMA, our exploration of color through the art of photography. Color is everywhere, and it’s a joy to capture in all its subtlety, complexity, and vibrance. It is found in nature and the city, in our homes and in our faces. The artists of Emerge welcome you into this exhibit with the eyes of a child, an invitation into both wonder and worship. We marvel at what is seen; we can only imagine the beauty of colors that The Lord created that our eyes cannot yet perceive. We hope you enjoy this color-filled exhibit!

Lost & Found
Our “Lost & Found” Recycled Art Exhibit naturally carries a theme of redemption, and renewal, of art that is found, juxtaposed, and celebrated, rather than dismissed and discarded. To be Found in Christ is to experience the wonder of a wholly transformed life, becoming a new creation. The marvel of transformation belongs not only to people: Jesus makes all things new.
