Artspace is pleased to announce its upcoming 2026 Member Biennial exhibition,  
Duets: Artspace Artist Members & Their Guests. Running from October through December 2026,  
this expansive exhibition celebrates the power of creative partnership, bringing together Artspace  
artist members and invited guest artists in a dynamic visual and conceptual dialogue.  
The main exhibition will be hosted at Artspace Gallery in the Stratford Hills Shopping Center from  
October 23 through December 19, 2026. In addition, Artspace is debuting a special satellite  
exhibition at Corporate Museum & Frameon Broad Street in downtown Richmond, running  
from October 2 through December 19, 2026.  
About the Exhibition  
Curated by Michael A. Pierce, Artspace Vice President for Membership, Duets challenges artists to  
step outside the solitary confines of the studio to embrace collaboration, shared life connections, and  
creative vulnerability. The resulting collection spans a rich variety of media—including painting,  
ceramics, textile sculpture, photography, assemblage, and artist books—showcasing pairings that  
range from harmonious aesthetic alignments to compelling contrasts. "Art is rarely born in a vacuum; it sometimes thrives on connection, conversation, and the unexpected  
sparks that fly when two creative minds meet," says curator Michael A. Pierce. "The works presented  
in Duets represent an incredible breadth of experimentation and trust, expanding our definition of  
community and fostering a more vibrant, thoughtful world."  
A fully illustrated, professional exhibition catalog designed by Robert Meganck accompanies the  
show, with print sponsorship generously provided by Worth Higgins & Associates.
