“CONSUME” Juried Group Art Show Opens at Medium Art Center

“Consume” Juried Art Show opens Friday, June 6th with celebration during First Friday Art Walk.

Consume is a juried group exhibition exploring the many dimensions of consumption, both literal and abstract. This show will open during the First Friday Art Walk in downtown Ukiah. Artists interpreted the theme broadly, reflecting on consumer culture, appetite, material waste, capitalism, addiction, sustainability, or the psychological and environmental impacts of consumption. Work also approaches the theme through assemblage or reuse, where the act of consuming becomes part of the creative process, transforming discarded objects into new visual narratives.

The show runs through Saturday, June 28th, 2025.

Opening Reception - June 6th
There will be music, light food, and drinks.
There will be a community interactive consumption-themed project that begins at the opening and continues throughout the show’s duration. Bring your (clean) waste to pin to the piece – for example: store receipts, packaging, tchotchkes, discarded mail, old clothing, etc.
