Programs

Artists in residency are hosted by invitation in parallel with Gather Center’s recurring, annually-situated Consciousness Cycle. This program proposes the journey of our becoming as a consciousness spiral which revolves with renewal and expanding progression.  Natural and human rhythms translate into a sequence of exhibitions across the year. The Consciousness Cycle focuses into the below topics which are expressed through group and solo exhibitions and accompanying literature. These integrate inspiration and meaning across individual and unity consciousness, the pillars of Gather Center’s nonprofit mission.

I Collective Passage featuring Unconditional Humans (Lunar New Year)

II Awakening (spring)

III Resonance (Summer)

IV Alignment (Fall)

V Embodiment (Winter)
