Join us Saturday, October 4th 2025 for the closing of Look What I Made, a collaborative art exhibition by Liv Cook x ShangriLa Collective at Gasper Arts Center.Playful yet deeply moving, this show explores identity, personal transformation, and the preservation of childhood imagination through eleven unique collaborative portraits. Each begins with Cook’s rendering of a collaborator as a young child, based on a baby photo. That painting is then handed back to the same artist to complete the background, inviting their present-day creative voice to converse with their childhood self. The result is a collection of layered, intimate works that bridge past and present in surprising, heartfelt ways.
We hope to see you there!
