LAnd SEA
LAnd SEA is an exhibition about collaboration, co-curated by McLean Emenegger (AMcE Creative Arts) and Eleana Del Rio (Koplin Del Rio). The exhibition features collaborative artwork from seven pairs of Pacific Northwest and West Coast artists, displayed alongside individual work from each artist.
This joint venture represents a unique opportunity for partnership, born from a shared vision to foster community and cross-pollinate ideas within the evolving art landscape. Both AMcE Creative Arts and Koplin Del Rio have extensive histories in the art world, and each will bring their unique perspectives to the exhibition.
“As transplants from the Los Angeles art scene now working in the Pacific Northwest, we’ve found inspiration in the duality of place—our continued ties to LA’s vibrant creative community alongside our deepening engagement with artists in this region. This dialogue informs the exhibition’s concept and title.”
Exhibiting artists are:
Daniel Carrillo| Eirik Johnson
Tim Cross | Robert Hardgrave
Einar and Jamex de la Torre | Tommy Gregory
Sarah Gordon | Christine Nguyen
Niki Keenan | Drie Chapek
Chris Lael Larson | Morgan Rosskopf
Melissa Monroe | Jesse Reno
