Opposites Attract

Gallery Hours:
Wednesday-Friday 10 am – 4 pm
Opening Celebration: Friday, April 10, 4-6 pm


What happens when things that shouldn’t work together… do?

Opposites Attract explores the unexpected chemistry and the creative power of paradox. It celebrates unlikely pairings that may seem to contradict one another, yet together produce something compelling, meaningful, and new – think bittersweet, deafening silence, or organized chaos. These dynamic combinations invite curiosity, reflection, and challenge expectations.

This exhibition invites artists to embrace contradiction not as something to resolve, but as a force to explore. Here, opposites do not cancel each other out; they amplify, transform and surprise. Tension evolves into harmony and contrast becomes connection.

We welcome submissions from artists of all mediums and perspectives. We seek work that celebrates difference, sparks dialogue, and reveals how powerful ideas often emerge from what initially seems incompatible – because sometimes what doesn’t fit is exactly what works.
