Under the Influence explores the dynamic and ever-evolving conversation between artists across time and space. This group exhibition invites artists to showcase how their work reflects the profound influence of others—whether through the inspiration drawn from contemporary peers, responses to past movements, or conversations with the art world at large.

In this show, art is seen as a continuous dialogue where each creator builds upon the ideas and styles of those who came before them. Under the Influence is a celebration of how artistic expression transcends boundaries and creates new connections, where every piece tells a story of influence—be it through technique, concept, or thematic resonance.

Curators Hannah Demma, Maddie Hinrichs, and Emily Palmer picked submissions that reveal these interwoven relationships—whether a tribute to a lesser-known contemporary artist, a conversation with an artistic peer, or an exploration of a larger collective movement. This exhibition honors the evolving narrative of art and the ways in which artists contribute to shaping how we perceive and create.
