JOY NATIONAL JURIED EXHIBITION

This exhibition shares a diversity of euphoric experiences and the effects of positive emotion on the body. Joy brings catharsis, builds resilience and brings 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. Reclaim the joy of artmaking by tapping into one’s inner child. Display moments of contentment you’ve experienced or witnessed. We asked artists to answer the question—what does happiness means to you in the here and now, and to provide a window into a personal source of peace and pleasure. 

Exhibition: November 16, 2024 - January 11, 2025
