"illumunate"
Opening reception January 27th, 6p - 10p

Show runs from January 27 - May 12

There are two kinds of light - the glow that illumines, and the glare that obscures.
~James Thurber

illuminate explores light in all of its forms and is open to conceptual interpretation. This show is beyond anything Water Street Studios has ever done. illuminate is more of an "event" than a show. This is a dimly lit show, with the gallery's house lights off and sporadic track lights on. This show also exhibits work in the addictional 3,800 sq ft space adjacent to our already large gallery. This space will have all it's lights off and feature work that is self-illminating.
