NEW EXHIBITS! onVIEW RECENT & RETRO: Stephen Romanow It was interesting to see some of my very old paintings next to some of my very recent paintings, and the thought of hanging the old with the new occurred to me, thus my “Recent & Retro” show. TOGETHER & APART An exhibition of works created in isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic that seeks to explore how together, we turn to art. Artists where invited to submit work drawing on themes such as loneliness and isolation, community, relationships, social distance, or anything that embodies what they have experienced. Through this exhibit, we showcase how creative expression allows us to connect not only to ourselves, but to one another, bringing us together even while apart.
