The educational evening is dedicated to the exploration of the Italian culture with a movie night in Italian.
“Coming Home” is a celebration of diverse mediums and techniques, and opens a door to all manner of interpretation. Each of the artists will have their own view of what this means.
It may reference love of home, or a personal love, or an exploration of the relationship between craft and comfort. It can convey everything from warmth to the opposite.
This exciting exhibit showcases the distinct perspective on how color, material, and techniques can collaborate in unexpected ways to illustrate where and how we actually live, move, and seek both livability and inspiration in our surroundings.
