Strands: An Art Exhibition by Painting Progress

Painting Progress presents Strands: Community, Culture & Connection

‘Strands’ is an art exhibition that explores the way in which community, culture and connection all come together, through an array of 2D and 3D mediums. Featuring work from both emerging and long-standing artists, each piece from this exhibition serves as a visual prompt, urging viewers to question and navigate the way in which we relate to one another, the power of community, and the things that make us who we are.
