Title: Group A: Portals
Curator: Kate Lydon
Dates: 3/15 - 4/28/2019

PORTALS
Surprising, playful and provocative, the exhibition will highlight a unique selection of non-objective works by Group A Members. Using color, shape, size, scale, and, in some cases, the process itself, the featured artists share a language—both deeply personal and universal—grounded in the abstract.
