We invited artists to consider and interpret the idea of
convergence and submit their work to our juried show being

held in conjunction with our ConVergence retreat in Morro Bay.
We received entries from 90 artists who submitted more than

200 art pieces for the show. And our juror, Pamela Smith
Hudson, selected 46 pieces that spoke to the theme. When

asked about the exhibition and her selection process, she
stated the following.

“Convergence in art is defined when parallel lines connect to a

point, creating a sense of depth. Convergence can also mean
a gathering of people. People who come from dif erent

places, have dif erent backgrounds, perspectives, ideas and
values.This juried exhibit brings the art and the artists

together to the beautiful coastal town of Morro Bay. The use
of encaustic in art is not unlike the great Morro Rock; ancient

yet still visible and relevant in today’s contemporary society.
