Joy celebrates visual-art’s ability to uplift our spirits by showcasing six Bay Area artists embracing positivity in diverse and thoughtful ways. Each connects with joy through their own path—whether rooted in lived experience, a relationship with creativity and materials, or from an intent to awaken a sense of wonder in the viewer. Together, their works form a radiant chorus that affirms joy as both personal and universal, playful yet profound. Visitors are invited to step into this exhibition with an open heart, ready to receive and to enjoy.
