In/finite Earth is the twelfth exhibition of VSA and Volkswagen Group of America's annual Emerging Artists Program. This longtime collaboration is an opportunity for visual artists, ages 16-25, with disabilities to receive national recognition at the start of their careers.
Fifteen award recipients received a total of $60,000 in prize money provided by Volkswagen. Of the 15 recipients, 2 are from Massachusetts.
In/finite Earth asks emerging artists to showcase work that illuminates innovative viewpoints at the intersection of environmentalism, creativity, and disability. In/finite Earth is a call to artists to engage in the physical, emotional, and creative ties we share across our planet, and present their artistic perspectives regarding the natural world, sustainability, and our collective future.
