ArtsWorcester members are invited to submit to Fusion, a juried exhibition of collaborative artwork.
Collaboration in art-making is a powerful tool for expanding one’s practice and developing new techniques. Famous duos like Warhol and Basquiat, Marina Abramovic and Ulay, and Christo and Jean-Claude have left their mark on art history. Larger collectives like the Guerilla Girls work in solidarity to uplift a mission. Film sets of all sizes cannot exist without collaboration.
At least two artists must have worked in collaboration on each submission. Submissions for Fusion are now closed.
