Co|So show starts July 9
Co|So is excited to announce our 2026 National Show, our annual exhibition open to both members and non-members of the gallery. This year’s theme will be Intersections, exploring the dynamic spaces where paths cross and ideas converge. Viewing the crossroads as both literal and metaphorical, contrasts naturally coexist: movement and stillness, structure and fluidity, tradition and innovation. We invite artists to reflect on the tensions that emerge when forces – social, cultural, and political – collide and reshape one another.
The show is July 9 to August 8 with an opening reception on July 11, 4-6 p.m.
This show will be juried by Almitra Stanley, the director of Boston Sculptor’s Gallery; a cooperative gallery located in Boston’s SOWA district that features innovative contemporary sculptures made by regional artists.
