the collaborating artist members of our global community of contemporary artists. Each of the 4
rooms at the iconic Westbeth Gallery are curated with a unique theme within the larger cohesive
exhibition.

Main Gallery – Museum Ology What might a permanent or private collection look like? We
imagined a collector in their selection process that wants to include painting, sculpture and
mixed media works that are in dialogue.
Gallery 1- Wall to Wall Gallery walls curated for the eclectic collectors who live with the work
and have an appreciation for different styles, classic portraits and drawings, unique prints, fine
art photography, mixed media work and abstract paintings.
Gallery 2 – Art is an Object
Table-top and wall mounted sculptures are like any other object, except there is an emotional
connection.
Gallery 3 – On the Ballot
Artists are in the unique position of being able to visually express the concerns of many. They
are exploring the issues and more importantly observing the world around them. The artists
featured in this room are not oblivious.
