Five artists will display their works in “Newer Forms,” opening Friday, October 29, at the Community Artists’ Collective, 4101 San Jacinto, Suite 116. A reception will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. that evening.

Amanda Quintanilla, Troi Speaks, Kaijah Ward, Aliah Carmen and Preston Gaines create their own worlds to respond to a range of external and internal environments, channeling the chaos and oftentimes absurdness of life to the serenity that nature and religion can hold for us.

This exhibition, curated by Miles Payne, also serves as a new point in a few of the artists’ careers as they test the boundaries by exploring and defining what sculpture means to them.

The exhibit continues through November 27.
