new exhibit "Joy"

Jubilant, diverse, and inspiring, Joy is a feeling to recognize, embrace, and share.
Since March, 2019, the world has shifted. Fear, isolation and panic have become norms. Unmoored from the norm, we have been drifting. Slowly we are awaking, our mood is shifting and we can see light in the future.
Joy is an intense, momentary experience of positive emotion.
It's intangible, thats why people try to capture it in different forms to remember the moment.

Enjoy this unique texture art experience.

We remind you that our gallery is free to the public.
