About this event
Featuring new collaborations by Carla Aaron-Lopez, Erin Comerford Miller, Windy O’Connor and Lo’Vonia Parks.
Designed as a celebration of relationship, creativity and women, JOY is both personal and collective. It reflects the beauty and joy of individual friendships while illustrating the undeniable truth that through relationship we become invested in and connected to one another. Each artist brings a personal story and a unique lens to her expression of joy, yet the manifest approach to JOY is one of collaboration. The resulting experience is a celebration of what we can collectively achieve by allowing each individual to shine.
Masks are required inside of the gallery. Limited entries; reservations required.
The afternoon also celebrates the opening of Who Are Your People? — a new exhibition by gallery artist Makayla Binter.
