Attending Converge 45's upcoming gala event, Beginnings, promises to be a reflective and exciting experience as we honor guest curator Lumi Tan. This gathering marks a pivotal moment for our community, setting the stage for the 2026 city-wide exhibition. It's not just a celebration; it's an invitation to immerse ourselves in a spirit of renewal and creativity. The atmosphere will undoubtedly be charged with anticipation for the innovations and dialogues that lie ahead.
As we gather to recognize our shared commitment to the arts, we are reminded of the power of connection in shaping our future. Converge 45 aims to cultivate a rich tapestry of voices, focusing on unknown outcomes that challenge the status quo and encourage exploration. This gala will be a testament to our belief in the collective experience—where every interaction can lead to transformative insights. Together, we embrace the uncertainty of artistic discovery, forging pathways that deepen our investment in the local ecosystem and create lasting bonds among artists, curators, and the greater Portland community.
In looking towards the next exhibition, we anticipate a journey that prioritizes collaborative experiences, inviting us all to trust in the process of creation and the knowledge that emerges from it. As we raise our glasses at Beginnings, we celebrate not only the work of Lumi Tan but also the potential that lies ahead for Converge 45. It’s a chance to honor where we've been, revel in where we are, and ignite excitement for the horizons we are yet to explore together.
