Image for 'Art. Wherever You Are.' Winter Members’ Exhibition
  • Dec 8, 2020 - Dec 31, 2020 Key West
  • 'Art. Wherever You Are.' Winter Members’ Exhibition
  • Website
  • If being mostly housebound over the last year has taught us anything, it’s been new ways of connecting. We’ve explored the world virtually, scheduled screen chats with loved ones, and opened our eyes to old injustices and hidden treasures that were around us all along. Our ties to our neighbors – both across the street and across the globe – have never felt more real, and the physical places where we find ourselves seem to matter more than ever, and not at all. For our winter members’ exhibition, we invite artwork about wherever you are – whether it’s the view from your window, or from your mind’s eye.?
