At the end of each mintern cycle, minterns curate, install, and manage all aspects of their very own show.
Summer 2020
A Different World is the artists' response to the paradigm shift of the new decade. This exhibition considers the powerful role of vision and perception.

A Different World
These six women artists (Danielle Blanding, Julia Dailey, Arieanne Evans, Devin Morrison, Olivia Satterfield, Kori Thompson) investigate what happens when 21st century artists explore the new issues of today, including science, religion, political and social reform, identity, and the role of art. As they, as well as society, cope with this daily uncertainty, this works concern survival, awakening, and monotonous existence.

"Please touch" a new concept when it comes to gallery culture. Blanding supplied hand sanitizer for all to feel the sculptures.

Part of dealing with their own panic disorder, feeling the sculptures helps the artist cope. They extended this over to the audience.
