Central Library Art Gallery

Waiting Room is an exhibition exploring health and wellness through contemporary craft.

What does it mean to care for something? Someone? Ourselves? Expressions of care—or the lack thereof—shape the world in which we live, a world that is often fraught with competing tensions and complexities.
Waiting Room seeks to unpack matters of illness, suffering, and healing. Explored through a range of artistic interpretations and processes including metalwork, fiber art, ceramics, glass and woodworking, the works on view investigate how we express emotional resilience, how we bring our whole selves into the consulting room.

Curated by Bonnie R. Domingos and featuring works by Allied Craftsmen members Warren Bakley, Charlotte Bird, Richard Burkett, Judith Christensen, Polly Jacobs Giacchina, Linda Litteral, Viviana Lombrozo, Adam John Manley, Kathleen Mitchell, Kathy Nida, Gail Schneider, Ross Stockwell and Cheryl Tall.

Opening Reception: Friday, August 11, 6:00 - 8:00 PM
