Let’s weave our collective roots together.
In 2023, we’re digging in deeper and finding out what it means to be rooted. Our exhibitions, programs, and featured artists will explore the theme of rootedness in its different forms… from rich personal experiences, to our local community, and traditions surrounding family and culture.
