The 2026 Powerhouse Arts Staff Art Show, on view in the Small Hall from November 5 through December 6, 2026, features work by full- and part-time staff members, interns, and teaching artists from across the organization’s departments, programs, and fabrication shops. Celebrating the diverse creative practices that shape the institution, the annual exhibition reflects Powerhouse Arts’ commitment to creating meaningful employment opportunities for artists.
Presented in dialogue with Masterpieces: A Virtual Experience of the Museo del Prado, the Staff Art Show will showcase a range of artistic practices while exploring the broader ecosystem of influence within the arts. Each participating artist will identify an artwork from art history that has shaped their practice, revealing networks of inspiration that connect artists across generations and offering a glimpse into the creative lives of the people who make Powerhouse Arts run.
