Inspired by Andy Warhol Exhibit
The Herberger Theater welcomes Arizona artists to apply for the upcoming Inspired by Andy Warhol Exhibit.
The exhibit will be on display in the Herberger Theater’s Galleries, April 2 – May 16, 2027.
Theme Description
Andy Warhol transformed the way we see art, celebrity, consumer culture, advertising, and everyday objects. His bold imagery, repetition, vibrant color, and fascination with popular culture challenged traditional ideas about what could be considered art. We invite artists to explore the theme “Inspired by Andy Warhol” and create work that reflects, responds to, or reimagines the ideas and visual language associated with Pop Art.
