What happens when we let go of the rules? In this exhibition artists embrace imagination, spontaneity, color, and play. Curated by Ashley Lazarz and Stephanie Mervine, this exhibition offers bold, joyful, unexpected, and wonderfully weird work that breaks from convention and celebrates the freedom to create without limits. Experience the vibrant colors, playful forms, humor, fantasy, movement, and ideas that make us smile, wonder, or see the world a little differently. Explore what happens when creativity gets to run wild!

Bolm Arts & AISD
The Black Box Gallery is a professional, rotating exhibition space that wraps around the PAC’s Black Box Theatre. It expands the district’s already thriving arts presence at the PAC which currently includes The Gallery (dedicated to student exhibitions throughout the school year), Main Hall for large productions and community performances, Black Box Theatre (a smaller venue for poets, musicians, dancers, and theatre events), a professional dance studio, and outdoor plaza stage.
Through this initiative, AISD is breaking new ground: the Black Box Gallery will be one of the first professional-level, rotating galleries embedded in a public-school district’s performing arts center in Texas.
