As the humidity rises and we await our annual monsoon rains, it becomes evident that there’s nothing more universal than water, the substance that sustains life on Earth. The presence of water often has a joyous symbolic meaning, creating a feeling of pureness, sustaining & life-giving or it can be a strong natural force.  Water is also political - a major natural resource at the root of environmentalism as our planet struggles to accommodate a growing population that demands more and more.

 

We invite you to join us for the opening of “Chubasco”, an exhibition paying homage to our monsoon and a celebration of all things water. Don’t miss this thought provoking collection of artists’ explorations of water as a theme in paintings, drawings, photographs, sculpture and mixed media.
