PASSION REASON IDIOCY: 2025 PREVIEW EXHIBIT

OPENING RECEPTION: Thursday, November 6, from 6-8pm

We are thrilled to be presenting once again a multi-venue, salon-style curated exhibition at the Cultch, Alternative Creations Gallery, and the Pendulum Gallery. The exhibition will feature 80+ artists and a variety of mediums including painting, drawing, photography, printmaking, and sculpture. The theme of this year's juried Crawl exhibition is “ PASSION REASON IDIOCY”. Passion is emotional. Reason is rational. Idiocy is foolishness. Do you have bouts of passion... reason... idiocy? These may be symptoms of a creative and artistic mind. During a time of global change, artists need to share their creative vision of the world. In this exhibition, artists share their Passion, Reason, Idiocy or in combination. Juried by Paul de Guzman, Eri Ishii, & Hugh Kearney
