This juried group exhibition will explore the tactile language of texture. From the smooth to the rough, the layered to the ephemeral, this show celebrates the material qualities that invite touch—both real and imagined.

Artworks that highlight the sensory experience of texture—pieces that evoke touch through illusion, surface, and materiality. We asked each selected artist to provide a small sample piece, if conducive to the material, that may be safely handled by visitors. This will allow audiences to engage directly with the materials and gain a tactile experience rarely available in a gallery setting.

Artists may interpret “texture” literally or conceptually—through surface, pattern, density, or emotional resonance.
