EMERGENCE Part III: Rebirth

REBIRTH invites artists and viewers to explore the power of transformation, renewal, and new beginnings. Like nature emerging after winter, a phoenix rising from the ashes, or a seed breaking through the soil, rebirth is a universal journey of growth, resilience, and change. This exhibition celebrates moments of awakening—personal, emotional, spiritual, environmental, and creative. Artists are encouraged to interpret the theme broadly, whether through stories of healing, reinvention, second chances, renewal of community, or the endless cycles found in nature and life itself. From literal representations to abstract expressions, each work offers a unique perspective on what it means to begin again. Set within the historic creative spaces of the Starline Factory, Rebirth honors the idea that transformation is not an end, but a beginning. Through painting, photography, sculpture, mixed media, fiber, digital art, and installation, this exhibition invites us to reflect on the beauty that emerges through change and the possibilities that arise when we embrace renewal.
