Event

Join us for the opening of the exhibition titled Openings by artist Lisa Wood.

An art opening is a moment of celebration in the art community - an event to reconnect with peers and colleagues and an opportunity to socialize. In this project, Lisa Wood exposes the underlying tension between the socially acceptable and socially awkward behavior that emerge from these events.
