Synergies: Hybrid Art

A Juried Exhibition

JUNE 4 - AUGUST 30, 2026

Synergies Square
The New Bedford Art Museum presents Synergies: Hybrid Art, a juried exhibition of 20 artists working in all media. This exhibition highlights work that merges artistic disciplines, materials, and technologies to create innovative forms of expression. 
The exhibition is juried by Amy Lemaire & Nicolas Touron, an artist duo based in Brooklyn, NY, whose collaborative practice explores materiality, form, and the intersection of natural and constructed environments. Working across diverse media, their work bridges the disciplines of sculpture, glass, and installation, creating immersive visual narratives that challenge perception and engage the senses.

Vanishing Ecologies: Speculative Futures

June 11–September 27, 2026

Rachael Ostrow

This exhibition explores artistic responses to the Anthropocene—the era in which human activity has reshaped the planet—and imagines what might follow it. Through painting, sculpture, installation, and time-based media, artists confront climate change, mass extinction, and the lingering shadow of the post-atomic age, while probing the accelerating entanglement of technology and time. Some works trace the fragile thresholds between collapse and adaptation; others speculate on post-human futures, ecological resilience, and planetary memory. Together, these visions ask how we narrate an ending that is also a beginning, inviting viewers to consider their place within deep time and the uncertain worlds still unfolding.
