2020 Currents Exhibition
2020 Currents
Members’ Showcase
Annual Exhibition
The 2020 Members' Showcase Annual Exhibition is titled Currents, and showcases original works by members created within the last 2 years from 2019-2020. Just as the currents of the ocean and wind map the unseen forces within the environment, the works of contemporary papermakers and paper artists reflect the unseen currents in life.
