Opening Reception:
Thursday, March 12,About this EventAtlantic Gallery is pleased to present Functional Aesthetics: Contemporary Art in Use, curated by Raluca Anchidin, on view March 10–28, 2026. An opening reception for the artists will be held on Thursday, March 12 from 6 to 8 PM. In addition to the reception, the gallery will host a one-day Market Meets Salon event on Saturday, March 14, from 1 to 5 PM.Functional Aesthetics: Contemporary Art in Use brings together inventive, hand-made, and uniquely designed works that expand the definition of functionality in contemporary art and everyday life. It explores the intersection of art, craft, and design: pottery that transforms into feel-good art, wearables that double as sculpture, furniture and light fixtures that merge aesthetic experimentation with everyday use.With more than 50 artists participating, the show becomes a collective statement: art does not need to hang at a distance to be meaningful. It can sit beside us, illuminate our evenings, hold our coffee, frame our bodies.Each work asks: What does it mean for art to be used?Functional Aesthetics celebrates objects that refuse to choose between beauty and utility. What connects them is not a single style or material, but a shared belief that art can exist within daily life. Regular interaction changes how we experience these objects; they become companions rather than decorations.The juror and curator, Raluca Anchidin will award one artist the prize of Feature on the Atlantic Gallery website and in the gallery newsletter, plus a one-week social media takeover of the Atlantic Gallery Instagram account, at a future date.Market Meets SalonThe Saturday afternoon event is designed to bring the artworks to life, turning the gallery into a living space shaped by the work itself. Visitors will be invited to converse with participating artists, explore the works, and connect with them — drinking from a ceramic cup, trying on jewelry, or sitting on a piece of furniture before making a purchase.The program affirms that creativity is accessible to everyone and celebrates the vibrancy of functional art as both an autonomous artistic practice and a form of daily experience.
