Memes, Screams, and Dreams Gallery Show

November 6 @ 12:00 pm - 3:00 pm

We are excited to present the first art gallery exhibit to take place at our new space! Curated by Holyoke-based father daughter team Billy and Sierra Myers, Memes, Screams and Dreams presents a vivid showcase as interpreted by a diverse group of artists.

Drawing from the realms of popular culture fusion, inner turmoil and the surreal, this exhibition explores the deeply connected ways we process the world around us.

The memes evoke the digital feudalism of our age with images charged with irony, humor and cultural commentary.

The screams express raw emotions and urgency to resistance, seizing moments of personal or collective tension.

The dreams lead us into the subconscious where fantasy, memory and imagination intersect. Together, the works reflect a culture in flux. Anxiety, fascination, and critique of the contemporaneous times we live in. Viewers are invited to consider how art can both mirror and shape our lives. Participating artists to include:
