Upcoming Exhibits


CLOUDY with a Chance of Art
Thursday, 16 September 2010 - October 10

Is a picture worth a thousand words, or can a thousand words create a picture? Maybe both. Let's find out. This unique, interactive exhibit asks you to write a couple of words about one or more of the art pieces on display. Feeling brave? Share more than a single word with us- share a thought or a story that the artwork brings to mind. Those words will be turned into their own 'word cloud' artwork throughout the show and final versions will be rendered at the show's conclusion. Share your words in person or online.
