The Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts presents a group show featuring nine new members of the acclaimed EFA Studio Program. Living Systems highlights the innovative and thoughtful approaches of this cohort of artists whose work spans photography, sculpture, installation, and film. Members are invited to join EFA for two years and represent the highest calibre artists selected by an independent jury panel. 

The 2025 panel included Samira Abbassy (EFA co-founder), Mitra Abbaspour (Harvard Art Museums), Sarah Freeman (Brattleboro Museum & Art Center), Robert Dimin (Dinim Gallery), and Elle Burchill (Microscope Gallery). This year, we are pleased to add five new studios to our Midtown location and launch our renovated 3rd-floor gallery space.
