About the exhibition:

It can sometimes feel like we are all islands separated by a vast ocean, inaccessible to one another. In times of uncertainty and struggle we often retreat to a place within ourselves and struggle to share this place with others. 

Where do you go to make sense of the world? Is it a person? A place? A state of mind? Dispatches from Kindred Worlds explores the profound connection between art-making, world-making, and truths that are communicated through these worlds. 

Artists serve as conduits, bridging the tangible and intangible, the known and the mysterious. Art-making is not merely a creative act; it is a profound act of world-making. Artists wield their tools to construct new realms, shaping landscapes and experiences both physical and metaphysical. 

In Dispatches from Kindred Worlds artists use their craft to forge connections to places far beyond the reaches of our everyday experience. Through their art, they transport us to distant landscapes, both real and imagined, inviting us to explore the depths of their innermost worlds. We lucky onlookers get to peer into these worlds, to wander through realms otherwise inaccessible to us, and leave with a kernel of truth that would have otherwise remained elusive. A boat in the vast ocean that separates us. 

This exhibition serves as a constellation of invitations, each artwork a beacon broadcasting its message on all frequencies. As we navigate these diverse artistic landscapes, we are reminded of the infinite possibilities that exist when we tap into and share our rich inner worlds.

Dispatches from Kindred Worlds will be on view in Gallery 1 at Da Vinci Art Alliance August 1 - August 25. The opening reception will take place on Saturday, August 3 from 4-7 pm.
