Life on the Brighter Side is set to open on August 6th from 4 to 7pm for First Friday and will run through September. This exhibition will bring together works by artists including, but not limited to, Cynthia Bjorn, Marcel Rozek, Tom Gregg and Laura Nugent to explore the expressive potential of color in a variety of artistic styles ranging from color field to abstraction to hyper-realism. These artists playful use of color provide a space to feel the weight of the last year lift ever so slightly and give hope for brighter days ahead. After a long, incredibly challenging year lacking in liveliness and excitement, this collection of works reminds us of the power of color and its’ ability to impact the way that we experience the world. The vibrancy of the colors serve as a reminder that we are looking to the brighter side, forging a path ahead as we move towards a post-pandemic society.
