The Arc Project: Humans from Mundane to Mythical

Humans make for fascinating subjects. As artists, we start with the simple task of capturing the spirit of being human in our works. We navigate the many challenges - limitations of media and skill, discomfort, emotional visceral interactions and reactions - yet we yearn to say something, capturing an essence that sometimes only we can see. This is the point where this exhibit begins - with human beings in front of us; extracting from life the ordinary and mundane to the fantastical and mythical! All representations are valid ways to celebrate the beautiful arc of our humanity - that shared experience which celebrates us!
Opening Reception: Saturday, July 8th, 2023 from 1‐6pm
