"Symmetry: What’s Work?" Art Exhibition

Symmetry: What’s Work?

Gallery administrators. Museum coordinators. University arts staff. Nonprofit program managers.

They spend their days creating opportunities for other artists—coordinating exhibitions, managing programs, writing grants, teaching art history. But when 5 PM hits? Plot twist! They sneak art supplies out of filing cabinets, turn breakroom tables into easels, and transform conference rooms into their personal critique spaces.

"What's Work" changes that narrative. celebrates the wonderfully chaotic double life of administrative and academic professionals who somehow manage to be the backbone of the art world AND secretly amazing artists when nobody's looking.

Why This Matters (And Why It's About Time!)

Let's be real—these are the people who make the art world actually work. They're answering emails about exhibition logistics while mentally composing their next piece. They're processing gallery rentals by day and creating mind-blowing paintings by night. They're teaching art history while quietly making it in their spare bedroom studio.

"What's Work" finally puts the spotlight on these creative multi-taskers who've been hiding in plain sight.

This exhibition is for everyone who's ever had to explain that yes, you work at a museum AND you're also an artist. For everyone who's perfected the art of switching from "professional email voice" to "vulnerable artist statement" in the same afternoon. For the coordinators, administrators, and educators who've been keeping everyone else's art dreams alive while nurturing their own on the side.
