Pop Box Gallery is a zero-commission art gallery currently in residence in Research Triangle Park - the center of innovation and discovery in North America. For our final exhibition in our gallery space at Boxyard RTP we are highlighting the incredible creative and artistic talent in the greater Triangle area with a group show called PROTOTYPE.
Why do we prototype? To validate and/or communicate an idea. To advocate. But also to unlock creativity.
With the PROTOTYPE exhibition, Pop Box Gallery challenged Triangle area artists to do all those things with each of the artists beginning with the same form - a pentaprism.
41 Triangle-based artists responded with 41 unique works of art in a variety of media. All work is priced at $50, $250, or $500 and will be available for purchase at the Collector’s preview event on Wednesday, May 4 and on our final day at Boxyard RTP on May 7, 12-6pm.
PROTOTYPE is a collaboration between Pop Box Gallery, Folded Poetry, and Hangar6.
