The Kirkland Art Center presents "Broken," a rare juried exhibition opening Saturday, March 21. Featuring work from over two dozen, largely regional artists, the show offers a nuanced look at the concept of brokenness from multiple perspectives.

The exhibition, juried by Mary Murray, curator of contemporary art at Munson, utilizes a wide range of media—including painting, photography, and sculpture—to explore how brokenness manifests emotionally, physically, socially, and systemically. While the pieces examine damage and loss, they also highlight themes of revelation, transformation, and resilience.
