The Big Wave!

Annual All-Members Show


The Big Wave! (formerly known as Currents) features new work by participating members, with all media represented, including paintings, sculptures, ceramics, and pottery. From this show, next year’s Merit Artists will be selected by a guest juror to participate in next year’s Standing Out exhibition.

“The annual all-member show highlights our family of artists and provides an opportunity for an elite group to stand out as Merit Artists the following year,” said Luis Purón, executive director of RCA. “This year marks the start of a new tradition to host the two shows concurrently since The Big Wave! is the source of artists for Standing Out.“

Standing Out continues to be a favorite show each year because it showcases the breadth and depth of talent among our many member artists,” says Elena Rodriguez, curator of exhibitions for Rockport Center for the Arts. “The amazing scope of work included each year no doubt presents a challenge for our guest juror to select only three.”
