Words! We use it to express  our thoughts and feelings, share our ideas and yet, while trying to be as succinct as possible, words can seem so abstract. 

Artists will exhibit their works which have incorporated words into their imagery. Either prose, poetry or a graphic typographical solution, the narrative by each artist is expressed on canvas, paper and other mediums. But just as importantly, there is the innate beauty of the written word; either printed by hand, or machine or scribbled or skillfully calligraphed.

The Artist's Reception coincides with the Grand Opening of Atelier Rosal and will also be celebrated with readings by notable poets. Poets are being curated by Patrick Rosal. Please join us for this annual event Sunday, February 4th, 2018 from 3pm to 6pm.

The exhibit will be up from Sunday, February 4th through Thursday, March 15th.
