Exposition, the 2017 Future Curators exhibition, is an exploration of visual storytelling. The works in the exhibition, although different in their approaches, invite the viewer to ask, ”What’s the story?” Using a variety of media, the artists represented here depict memories and feelings that evoke an emotional response and provide a narrative all their own.

This exhibition is organized by the 2017 Future Curators.

Admission to this exhibition is free during M&T FIRST FRIDAYS @ THE GALLERY.
