The Conversation: 17 Artists Join

From Curator and participating artist Carmel Brennan: “As artists, we have a gift that allows us to create our artwork, limited only by the materials we use and our physical environments. As the poet, essayist, translator, and cultural critic Lewis Hyde said, “A gift is something we do not get by our own efforts. We cannot buy it; we cannot acquire it through an act of will. It is bestowed upon us.” He continues to say that the gift “is supposed to be given away…” (it) “must stay in motion.”

Explore the exhibition in the Aurora Town Hall Gallery Space in a vibrant 360 Virtual Gallery. Feel like you’re there in person as you travel through the exhibition, seeing the scale of the artworks and how as they speak to each other.
