Taking Temperature
Exhibition Dates: September 7 - October 13
In partnership with The COAL + ICE Project, a documentary photography exhibition and climate festival coming to San Francisco this Fall, Embark Arts seeks artwork that responds to the environmental and political complexities of the climate change crisis.
On both a personal and global scale, how have these shifts affected landscapes, cultures, and communities? What are the implications of living in a country whose government actively denies climate science? Possible themes include, but are certainly not limited to, extreme weather events, apocalyptic predictions for the future, public land use and regulations, and hope in the form of environmental activism. We would like to focus on how these issues can be addressed through a variety of art forms and as such we encourage artists working in all mediums, including performance, to apply.
MANDATORY DATES:
Artwork Drop Off/Artist Meet Up: Sunday, August 26, 12:00PM-4:00PM
Opening Reception: Friday, September 7, 6:00PM-9:00PM
Artwork Pick Up: Monday, October 15, 10:00AM-5:00PM

Wave Forms
Exhibition Dates: October 26 - December 8
Embark Gallery seeks artworks that engage meaningfully with light and/or sound. This exhibition will ruminate on how these forces can be effective as the focus of a visual artwork, or how they can enhance a viewing experience. Artwork should capture the unique energy of light and sound waves, considering the vast diversity of both and/or how they can function together. Embark seeks a broad applicant pool for this show in order to demonstrate a variety of approaches to light and sound art, and as such encourage artists working in all mediums (including performance) to apply.
