Anything But… New Materials 

Group Exhibition

Anything But… is an annual exhibition series at Riverside Arts Center that invites artists to challenge assumptions about art materials and processes. Each year, the series sets aside a common material or convention, asking artists to explore alternative approaches. The goal is to spark experimentation, highlight innovation, and celebrate the many ways artists expand the language of contemporary art.

This year’s Anything But… New Materials group exhibition highlights works made primarily from recycled, reused, or repurposed materials, encouraging artists to step away from traditional, relied-upon art supplies and experiment with new ways of making. We’re selected pieces that featured inventive approaches to working with familiar objects, showcasing how creativity can transform disparate materials into masterpieces!
