Description of show: Multicultural experience has been shown to have a strong influence on creativity. Artists have often found inspiration in people, places and things that are not from their everyday environment. Whether it is an apprehension of “The Other,” or an enhancement of the connection between one’s own “Tribal Roots” and universal meanings, we can be deeply touched by an experience with the unfamiliar. Responses to this theme by participating artists give not only a remarkable range of interpretation, but a  lso together produce an exciting aesthetic experience for one's contemplation.Parking: he lot directly behind the Allen House is a bit tricky-- there are some 30 minute meters, and handicapped spaces. Otherwise it is by permit only. Parking in the street is suggested: Main, Maple, College, and South Prospect on southern end. |
