There is no denying the tremendous influence that pop culture and media has on everyday life. It has informed the way we look, think and interact with one another. It provides entertainment, amusement, and distraction from reality, as it has for generations – especially since the advent of cable television. It’s become so ingrained in our society that the slightest reference can trigger even the strongest emotional response, be it nostalgic or otherwise.
Symbols and themes from pop culture are likewise prevalent in the arts, particularly in recent decades where art reflects the very things that permeate the daily lives of ordinary people. For this juried exhibition, artists are invited to explore the aspects of pop culture and media that have influenced them through the ages, from an age-old cartoon that still brings us joy, to a thought-provoking film that you just can’t get out of your head, to the characters, actors, and musicians that stay with us throughout a lifetime.
