About this Event
Every art collection tells a story, but rarely do we glimpse the cherished connections between gallery owners, staff, and the artworks that have captured their hearts. "The Art Passions of Collectors and Curators" offers a unique journey through the gallery's collection, where each piece is selected not by academic criteria, but by personal resonance and emotional significance.
We invite visitors to explore the artwork through the eyes of those who know the collection most intimately. From the owners' treasured paintings purchased as anniversary gifts from the early years of marriage which led to owning two art galleries, to the Lily Pad Gallery’s staff’s sometimes unexpected choices that speak to each person’s experience, each artwork comes alive through personal narrative.
The exhibition will feature carefully selected works spanning various periods, mediums, and styles—united not by artistic movement or artist, but by the interests of those who are dedicated to collecting, curating, and sharing art. Accompanying the collection will be personal statements from its owner and gallery team, offering visitors a glimpse into the human connections that breathe life into a gallery's collection.
"Art Passions" transforms the traditional gallery experience, reminding us that art is not just about aesthetic appreciation, but about human connection, memory, and the profound ways art touches individual lives."
