The theme for this exhibition is:
LIGHT SOURCE 

Light Source is a celebration of the power of illumination—both in art and in life. Light holds the power to reveal and reflect. This exhibition invites artists to explore the role of light as a subject, medium, and metaphor in their work. Consider light’s physical properties—glow, reflection, and shadow—as well as its symbolic meanings—truth, hope, and discovery. Selected artists will be featured in an opening gallery opening show.​
