FLUID REALITIES: Water in Art & Life
Please visit our current exhibit, Fluid Realities: Water in Art & Life, featuring work juried by Princeton University Curatorial Assistant, Alex Bacon. The theme explores the element of water, how it effects us and we effect it.
Water is the essence of life, captivating with its beauty and vital for our existence. Fluid Realities invites artists to delve into the multifaceted nature of water, examining its aesthetic allure, our profound relationship with it, and the myriad challenges it confronts. This exhibit seeks to showcase diverse perspectives on water's significance, from its serene and mesmerizing qualities to the pressing environmental threats it faces due to human activity. Through various mediums, artists are encouraged to highlight the delicate balance between water's inherent beauty and its vulnerability, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of this precious resource.
The exhibit runs from August 11 to September 21, 2024.
Gallery hours: Thursday through Saturday, 12 to 4 PM and by appointment.
