Current Exhibits
The 2022 Juried Art Exhibit: Who Are You?
On View: Sept. 16, 2022, to March 17, 2022
Third Floor, City Hall
This exhibit provides a platform for regional creatives to consider how their art making practice assists in the process of self-discovery, connecting to oneself on a deeper level while engaging with other diverse ways of seeing and being.
The theme - Who Are You? - invites exploration into the story of each person’s life as constructed over time. This question can be asked of oneself or another and enquires after who or what defines you? Posed by the great philosophers of our time as a problem to be studied and or resolved, it centers one’s identity, personality traits, abilities, likes and dislikes and motivations as one’s individual autobiographical history. This story is our way of explaining and exploring how experiences unfold, the ways we are affected by those experiences, and the insights we have gained from them.
The selected artists have expressed their thoughts through a variety of artistic mediums, such as textiles, photographs, and paint. Participating artists include Wen Anderson Breedveld, Lindsay-Ann Chilcott, Trish Crawford, Marjorie Dorant, Geoff Farnsworth, Mike Gagnon, Ariadni Harper, Rajshree Jena, Jooyoung Jeon, Chris Liszak, and Azadeh Monzavi.
Opening reception: Friday, Sept. 23, 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Third Floor, City Hall, 50 Church Street
