FMVA Constraint

Starion Bank Gallery

Every other year, the Fargo-Moorhead Visual Artists (FMVA) invites its member artists to respond to a creative challenge tied to a specific theme. For this edition of Constraint, artists were asked: What Do You Think It Looks Like?

The resulting exhibition showcases the wide-ranging talent and imagination of FMVA members, with works that span a variety of media and approaches. Whether literal, abstract, playful, or conceptual, each piece responds uniquely to the prompt and encourages viewers to bring their own interpretations to the conversation.

FMVA supports and promotes the visual arts in the region through exhibitions and events such as the Big Exhibition at West Acres, the Visual Talks lecture series at Plains Art Museum, and the annual fall Studio Crawl. Constraint offers a snapshot of the vibrant creativity unfolding across our local arts community.

Gallery admission is free every day of the week. Generous support provided by Art Bridges Foundation’s Access for All program; the North Dakota Council on the Arts, which receives funding from the state legislature and the National Endowment for the Arts; the Arts Partnership, with support from the Cities of Fargo, Moorhead and West Fargo; the McKnight Foundation; The FUNd at Plains Art Museum; Giving Hearts Day donors; Spring Gala sponsors; and hundreds of Plains Art Museum members like you.
