## About This Program

> "Pattern Language"

Artburst Studios is selecting artists for its October online show "Pattern Language." Participating artists showcase original fine art pieces available for purchase through the Artburst Studios website, shipping sold works directly to collectors. Theme: "Patterns are a language. They help us understand the world, revealing relationships that might otherwise go unnoticed.

They can offer order, reveal connection, or mark change." The exhibition invites artists to explore the many ways patterns shape perception and experience, whether expressed through material, gesture, concept, or the act of making itself. Curated by Denver-based mixed-media artist Julia Martin, who makes sewn paintings from paper, paint, cloth and thread.
