FUN HOUSE — Solway Gallery

June 13 - August 9

In a selection of work by twenty contemporary artists, FUN HOUSE features painting, prints, drawings, and kinetic sculptures that incorporate video, light, and sound. The exhibition explores the illusory qualities of the fun house’s vibrant, shifting interior. There is a visual gameplay between a variety of media to transform the gallery space into a multi-dimensional environment. With an underlying sense of humor, FUN HOUSE embodies the spirit of collective optimism.
