The result is a dynamic collection of works embodying shared creative processes, innovation, and collective imagination. To complement these collaborative pieces, the exhibition will also feature one individual work from each artist, providing insight into their personal practices and sparking dialogue on the interplay between individual and collective creation. Please join us for the opening reception or during gallery hours. Gallery Hours: Fridays 2 p.m. – 6 p.m., Saturdays & Sundays: 11 a.m. – 5 p.m., and by appointment Visit: Union Hall Gallery
