A featured exhibition of Confluence: 2011 International Surface Design Association Conference

Acknowledgements The Surface Design Association Members’ Show is a biennial exhibition, held in conjunction with the Surface Design Association conferences. The 2011 version of the Members’ Show was an open-call exhibition showcasing the creativity of SDA members, each of whom interpreted the conference theme, Confluence, in a piece measuring 12” x 28” in either a vertical or horizontal orientation. Merge and Flow was judged by Barbara Lee Smith and Barbara Martinson.
