“All About Love” by TJ Feeley

Starting on Friday, June 7, come celebrate visual depictions of love at the All About Love exhibit at Del Ray Artisans gallery. In this exhibit, local artists explore the concept of love in all of its forms: romantic love, love for one’s parents and siblings, love of pets, young love, enduring couples, strong friendships, soulmates, and more.

While the ancient Greeks identified eight major types of love (erotic, affectionate, familial, playful, enduring, obsessive, unconditional, and self-compassionate), humans have an infinite number of ways to love. Love is one of the most important forces in the world—having been the theme of countless works of literature, film, architecture, and even war (i.e., Helen of Troy). As Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. noted “…Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.” Come see how artists portray what love means to them using a variety of media. All the artwork is available for sale.

Join us for the opening reception on Friday, June 7 between 7-9pm to meet curator TJ Feeley and the artists. Mark your calendar now or set a reminder through Eventbrite.
