About the exhibition:
Our exhibit, Off Kilter: An Exploration of Contemporary Form, will explore contemporary art within the framework of form and texture, juxtaposed with aesthetic value. Each item is wonderfully unique, and showcases a wide array of size, shape, and material. The installation seeks to invoke curiosity by subverting the expectations of viewers with the selection of pieces that may not meet the idea of art that many anticipate.
Our goal is to foster personal reflection and individual exploration in an accessible environment through the use of varying sensory information. We hope to open our doors and usher you into a fun, welcoming space where you can interact with art in an unorthodox way and leave you with a new appreciation of the ways that contemporary art makes use of form and texture.
This exhibit will run April 3rd-22nd.
