ABOUT THE EXHIBIT

"Unveiling Creativity: Art as Conversation", explores art as an ongoing process of creation, from when an artist first gathers moments of inspiration for a new piece to the time when a viewer responds to the artwork. When viewers respond to art, they co-create a new conversation and that experience is art in and of itself. A range of mediums are represented: collage, fiber, assemblage, and painting. During the run we invite the community to participate with us in thought provoking programs and events related to making art, discussing the work, and viewing the exhibition.
