Convergence is seeking out a diverse group of artists in a variety of media who are active, self-motivated, edgy, experimental, interested in the exchange of artistic ideas, and open to sharing their artistic processes with others. A panel comprised of Convergence staff, artists, curators, and arts professionals will select artists based on the quality of work, professional commitment, and interest in participating in a stimulating and creative environment. Selected artists will be asked to interview with the panel prior to acceptance.
