“Give the gift of hope”
OPENING NIGHT WEDNESDAY 5TH NOVEMBER – 6 PM.
Cheerfulness is an achievement, and hope is something to celebrate. Additionally, optimism is important because in so many difficult situations a successful outcome is determined by how much of it we bring to the task. The irony is, the more challenging our lives, the more a graceful depiction of a flower might move us. A beautiful painting can be all the more precious to us because we are so aware of how rarely life satisfies our desires. The tears — if they come — are in response not to how sad we are, but how pretty the art is. Art offers hope, and that is something we all need.
In this exhibition, six emerging artists come together to celebrate cheerfulness, hope and optimism. The giving of hope is the best gift of all. Simply, art makes our lives better.
Artists are Connie Godwin, Margaret Hogan, Andrea Holliday, Wendy Howie, Mez Truskett and Ani Danielian.
