Creative 360 in Midland, Michigan, will host the opening reception for “Convergence,” a solo exhibition by artist Steven Parkhurst, on May 22 at 7 p.m. The show features Parkhurst's work across multiple mediums, including graphite drawings, oil and acrylic paintings, and iPhoneography. Parkhurst describes himself as a 'maker' who lets the medium and his imagination guide each piece, rather than following a predetermined design. The exhibition runs through June 21, with free admission and a chance to meet the artist.
The exhibition matters because it highlights the growing recognition of iPhoneography as a legitimate fine art medium, alongside traditional drawing and painting. By presenting a solo show that bridges digital and analog techniques, Creative 360 supports local and regional artists while offering the community an accessible, donation-based cultural experience. The event also underscores the role of small arts centers in fostering creative experimentation and public engagement with contemporary art.
