“Water” group exhibition
A 2727 Artist Co-op Exhibition | May 2 - 25, 2025
Opening Reception: Friday, May 2, 6-8 pm
Gallery 2727
2727 California St., Berkeley, CA
Gallery Hours: Fri, 4-8 pm; Sat & Sun, 1-5 pm
"Water" is an exhibition that celebrates the mutable nature of water as an idea and a medium. Water is changeable as the seasons and as our emotions, providing a symbol for transformation and change, nourishment, emotion, and the divine. Still waters run deep, yet in creative work, “being in the flow” is a moment of connection and transcendent making, evoking the sense of nature allowed to move abundantly unimpeded. The artists of Gallery 2727 will exhibit works that show these myriad qualities, prismatic and vivid as any lights upon water.
Throughout the exhibition period, the 2727 Artist Co-op is proud to present a series of workshops, concerts, artist talks, and community events to showcase and celebrate their work. In co-op member Francesca Borgatta’s workshops, guests of all ages will be invited to create portions of a collaborative coral reef sculpture for display in the exhibition.
