Joy Artist Talk – Dec. 5, 2024 6PM – 7PM PST EXHIBITION DATES: Nov 16, 2024 – Jan 11, 2025
JOY, hosted at Arc Gallery in San Francisco, seeks art that reflects joy from a source that sparks pure delight. We are interested in seeing the ways in which you experience and capture the idea of joy through things you see and do every day. The works can range from realism to conceptual to abstract. This exhibition intends to share a diversity of euphoric experiences and the effects of positive emotion on the body. Joy can bring catharsis, build resilience and bring people together. This deliberate turning to joy is not a shying away from the reality of sadness, pain and distress—instead, it is about drawing on a deep sense of joy at the known and unknown, linking thankfulness and hope.
