ARC Collective Members’ Show: The Given Distance

Join the working members of ARC for a special exhibition showcasing their own artwork.

Opening Reception: Friday, April 3, 5–8 PM

The Given Distance
Curated by William Lieberman

The Given Distance is an exploration of the default condition or inherent barrier that artists face in fully communicating their internal experience to others. This exhibition points to the role of the artist, whose work attempts to bridge that distance.

This members’ exhibition brings together work by all artists of ARC Gallery, highlighting the range of voices, perspectives, and approaches that make up the gallery’s community. Working across diverse media and styles, ARC’s members present artworks that reflect their individual attempts to translate personal perception into visual form, collectively exploring the space between inner experience and shared understanding.
