As artists, we are shaped by our experiences and the social, historical, and personal contexts of our lives. Our lineages, the systems, structures, and institutional forces we navigate, leave great impact. How we react in turn can alter and revision, changing the course of effect on oneself and the spaces we occupy. How can our work provide a place of agency and response to powers imposed upon us? How can we create new visions and imaginings? This call is an invitation to daydream and speculate, to disrupt and reveal, to contemplate and amend the ways we are shaped by the world around us, and the ways in which our work can offer a future continuous.

Featured Artists: Lauren E. Cassidy, Julia Clift, Chris Combs, Jill Cucci, Carolina Davidson, Toby Lee Greenberg, Brian Hallas, Ruth Hamill, Charles Jarboe, Zoe Lavatelli, Vivian Leher, Charles Manion, Deborah Moss Marris, Charlotte Lindley Martin, Kedrick McKenzie, Mark Mellett, Maddie Jones Rodriguez, Elynne Rosenfeld, Terri Saulin, Maria Schneider, Anthony Smith, Heather Swenson, and Ari Zuaro

*This exhibition is in partnership with The Science Center at 3600 Market, the former Esther Klein Gallery.


For decades, the Science Center has embraced the arts as a vital part of innovation and community-building. From Esther Klein’s visionary belief that art and science together spark curiosity, creativity, and progress, to today’s partnerships with organizations like the Center for Emerging Visual Artists, that commitment remains central to our mission. By investing in diverse, local artistic talent, the Science Center continues to create space for new voices, perspectives, and ideas—recognizing that a vibrant, inclusive arts ecosystem strengthens both our innovation community and the city we call home.
