2025 International Juried Exhibition
The Center for Contemporary Art 2020 Burnt Mills Road, Bedminster, NJ, United StatesJuror, Erin Woodbrey, selected the work of twenty-eight artists, showcasing works of art across many mediums for the 2025 International Juried Exhibition. "The selected works reflect a desire to imagine our relationships to the spaces we inhabit anew—to create and embody new possibilities. In the work, I see a shared impulse to reimagine our material lives and explore new models for caregiving, resilience, and celebration. The artworks seem to ask how we might reshape our environments—not just physically but also socially and emotionally." -- Erin Woodbrey
