Exhibit Dates: April 5–27, 2024
Opening Reception: Friday, April 5 from 7-9pm
To celebrate International Diversity Month, this art exhibit highlights the beauty and richness of diversity through artists’ interpretations of the concept Same But Different. This Del Ray Artisans members showcase explores notions of identity, distinctions and similarities in our natural and manmade world. Through a variety of mediums, styles, and perspectives, the Same But Different exhibit invites the viewers to look at the interconnectedness of humanity by examining the uniqueness of things that may appear to be the same.
Join us for the opening reception on Friday, April 5 between 7-9pm to meet curators Pinar Artuk-Boegel and Barbara Cooper, and the artists. Mark your calendar now or set a reminder through Eventbrite: same-but-different.eventbrite.com.
