Description

The Yavapai College Art Gallery in Prescott, Arizona
Transforming Traditions: Art and Folklore in 2025
October 3 – November 7, 2025

This group exhibition in the YC Prescott Art Gallery seeks to honor the power of folk traditions, inviting artists from all backgrounds to celebrate and reimagine them. We welcome artists who interpret or reinterpret the traditional forms, techniques, motifs, and stories of their own heritage through a contemporary lens, whether in subtle homage or radical reinvention. Artists working in any medium, including painting, sculpture, photography, textiles, ceramics, digital art, and beyond are encouraged to showcase their work in a vibrant and inclusive gallery setting.

The exhibition will be juried by Dr. Suzanne Waldenberger, Folklore and Humanities Professor at Yavapai College Prescott.
