Assembly: Together We Grow Art Exhibit
March 6–28, 2026
Opening Reception: Friday, March 6 from 7–9pm
From council circles of Indigenous nations to agoras of ancient Greece, and from impromptu storm shelters to reliable weekly spiritual gatherings and intimate family dinners, gathering has shaped how we live and how we imagine better ways of living together. It is one of the essential tools we have for building trust, sharing knowledge, and making meaning across generations.
The Assembly: Together We Grow art exhibit at Del Ray Artisans delves into the fundamental human act of gathering and how it helps us grow, care for one another, and cultivate belonging. This member artist showcase explores gathering not just as a moment in time, but as a powerful mechanism through which we sustain and reimagine the world together.
Join us for the opening reception on Friday, March 6 between 7-9pm to meet curator Haddy Kreie and the artists. Mark your calendar now or set a reminder through Eventbrite at assembly-exhibit.eventbrite.com.
