Spirit of Place
January 11th - March 24th
Opening reception January 11th 5-7pm
Spirit of Place presents the work of Alex Buchanan, Sunny Chapman, R. A. Friedman, Kathleen Moroney, Chris Page, and Mindy Veissid, artists who gently evoke a personal sense of the emotional history contained within a landscape or natural phenomenon. Their respective art works tell us more about a place's psychic energy and mood than describe an iconic or recognizable locale. The selected artworks provide the viewer insights into how the depicted place or view of nature makes the artist feel just as much as it tells us what it looks like to them. These artistic artifacts reveal facets of the artist's interior life and also carry something of the collective unconscious.
See the full collection in-person at the Art Museum.
