As the first official exhibit of the 2021/2022 Cultural Season after the pandemic, OTAC’s goal was for arts audiences to experience light as an element in art through four artist’s unique and different visions.’The Light’ is a tribute to these artists and the power of the arts to provide hope during and after difficult times,” said Charlotte Collins, the curator for this exhibit. “We hope you will join us and bask in their light.”
