SYNERGIES: HYBRID ART
JURIED EXHIBITION
June 4 - August 30, 2026
The New Bedford Art Museum presents Synergies: Hybrid Art, a juried exhibition of 19 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.
