2020 Member Show

January 18 to February 16, 2020 

Compassion

 

We’re starting off 2020 with a new attitude and ask our members to share your “compassion” through your artwork in our first exhibition of the new year. In these times of high anxiety and extreme tribalism, let’s try a little caring and understanding. Consider artwork that speaks to a kinder, gentler world. Let’s get back to that golden rule: treat others as you’d like them to treat you. Join us. Let’s express it through our artwork.
