Valentine’s Day Party at MK Contemporary Art Gallery: 'Connected'
Cynthia Siegel, 'Begin,' White stoneware clay, 32 x 23 x 20"
This Valentine’s Day, gather with your community and celebrate creativity, conversation, and connection.
Join Pacific Rim Sculptors for a Valentine’s Day Party at MK Contemporary Art Gallery and experience Connected, a juried sculpture exhibition presented by PRS in partnership with MK Contemporary. Bringing together artists from diverse backgrounds, the exhibition explores the many meanings of connection between people, materials, environments, and technologies through a wide range of contemporary sculptural approaches.
Featuring work by both Pacific Rim Sculptors members and non-members, Connected was made possible in part by support from the Arts Council Santa Cruz’s "Create Grant", which helped offset exhibition costs and expand participation.
