15 diverse artists reflect on life experiences & creativity
info • December 9, 2024
Featuring 15 diverse artists working in a wide range of media, we are excited to share with you our third CommunARTy group exhibition. Reflections, the theme of our 2024 exhibition as decided by the artists, gave us all opportunities to reflect; on our art, on our experiences that inspire it and what we gain from creating it. Our exhibition gave our visitors the opportunity to reflect, too.

This is my second year coming and it's always a huge joy to come
and feel things and learn things. Big love to you all.
Wonderful!
Always so inspiring.
The video makes it so good - provides context to the artworks and the artists.
