About

Stories Told Through Abstraction

Some stories can be powerfully told through the simple gesture of a line, color, or pattern. Between the Lines brings together renowned international artists who use the language of abstraction to explore identity, place, memory, and the complexity of being alive today, revealing aspects of ourselves and the world around us as vividly as any literal image. From intimate drawings to immersive, interactive installations, come discover the powerful stories held within the abstract.

Exhibition opening September 25, 6:00 PM.
