Current Exhibition:

A group of international artists have come together to create a World class art installation and community art event to share in select cities around the globe.

Artists from eight countries, the 14 members of International Online Art Collective (IOAC) are bringing their art to Eugene. Their project, “Chain Reaction”, opens in September at The Hybrid Gallery. This will be the final US venue before Chain Reaction continues its tour overseas. Previously, galleries in Jamestown, NY, Washington, DC, and Miami, FL have hosted these multi-media events.

The collaborative art installation will be on display at The Hybrid Gallery Sept. 5-Oct. 12, 2025. A free-to-the-public opening reception with refreshments and a chance to meet the Oregon-based artists included in this show will be held Sept. 12, 5-8PM. Public art events leading up to and during the show will be held in conjunction with the exhibition.

A free “Mini Chain” community event will allow those of all abilities and ages to create their own Chain Reaction inspired by the exhibit on Sept. 13, from 10AM-1PM. (All materials provided.)

A virtual panel discussion with the international artists will take place in the Gallery Sept. 14, 11AM-Noon.

The Chain Reaction exhibition will also be featured during the Last Friday Walk on Sept. 26, 5-8 PM.

Chain Reaction is a global art collaboration by International Online Art Collective (IOAC) reflecting 14 artists’ ability to inspire each other through art. The project, documented in video and print, includes a magazine, behind-the-scenes video and artist’s narratives explaining the inspiration for each link in the chain.
