Spring Street Studios1824 Spring Street
Spring Street Studios is hosting its annual All-Campus Invitational Exhibition, bringing together artists and their artworks from all of the studio buildings on the Sawyer Yards campus. This year's exhibition, entitled Resonance: A Visual Symphony occupies both levels of the building, and is expertly curated by artist and organizer Cheri Randolph. As is tradition, the works on display will be judged and prizes awarded. This year's judge is Tanja Peterson, Executive Director of Redbud Gallery. Join the artists for an opening reception on Friday March 6, from 6-9pm.
Curator's Statement:
"Resonance" is not just what we see—it’s what lingers. The artists in this exhibition explore those reverberations through a variety of media, including painting, sculpture, photography, and mixed-media
works. While diverse in approach, their works are unified by a shared
commitment to examining the space where visual form meets
emotional frequency.
In a time defined by overstimulation and fragmentation, Resonance asks us to slow down, to notice what moves us. It reminds us that art is not merely seen—it is felt. That the most powerful works may not be those that shout, but those that stay with us in quiet moments, echoing long after we’ve left the gallery.
Ultimately, Resonance: A Visual Symphony is about connection—between artist and viewer, between image and emotion, between what is visible and what is deeply, powerfully sensed. Like the movements of a symphony, the works rise and fall, call and respond, whisper and thunder. As you walk through this exhibition, allow yourself not just to observe, but to listen; to the quiet pulse, to the visual music, to the resonance.
