“The Arts give us numerous vehicles from which we can explore and then produce an expression of who we are – our “Energy”. This show invites all members of the Arts Council to display a piece of visual artwork that gives the viewer and idea of who each artist is at this moment. We might show, through our artwork, our hopes, our visions, or the places from which our “Energy” was born or has evolved to. This exhibit wonderfully shows the vast range and talent of our members in beautiful and thought –provoking ways.” William Grabowski, curator.
