The Santa Cruz Art League is proud to be providing a space for emerging artists through our annual “Curate This!” program, which facilitates a 1-week exhibition curated by UCSC interns and open to all Bay Area college students to submit artwork. Join us in celebrating the hard work and talent of our intern curators as well as all the artists featured in this exhibition!

On this year’s Theme:

The term transmutation is one with a multitude of interdisciplinary connotations, having associations in alchemy, philosophy, physics, and the arts; all of which have been used by human beings to make sense of the world and their place in it. We understand this more simply put though, as a change or permutation. Transmutation in this sense is a dual phenomena, embodied through a culmination of transformation and destabilization.

Change is a constant and inevitable process that everyone undergoes; through Transmutation, we invite both artists and audiences to consider an alchemy of the self, the concept that we as organic entities endure a never ending process of metamorphosis and becoming, internally and externally.

We hope to see you at this month’s reception!
