Finding Our Way
This show will be our first exhibit announcing our reopening to the public, a visual depiction of our past year’s journey personally, organizationally, and culturally. When the entire world shut down and we were forced to confront adversity, we as humans had to continue on in daily life, even with our basic routines in upheaval. In the quiet moments of quarantine and in the uproar on our tech screens, we had to search deep within ourselves, our beliefs, and our dependencies, and grab on to hope in whatever form that may have taken. How did you get through? What did you learn about yourself? What matters most to you in life? Inspired by growth amongst opposition and the vibrant hope of things to come, these artists display their own take on beauty within the chaos. As we look ahead, let us take a moment to remember how we all ventured through one of the most difficult and confusing times in history, that we may continue on in this life uniquely and individually finding our way.
This exhibit showcases the work of three internationally renowned artists Cekis, Mike Childs, and Marilyn Davidson.
