Light in the Dark is an exhibition curated by Karin Schaefer, installed at Sears Peyton Gallery, November 16 - December 16, 2017.
Light in the Dark represents a community resisting the cynically corrosive powers of our time and seeking avenues for reinvigorating a more constructive approach to the challenges we face. The exhibition features small-scaled contributions by twenty artists advocating for the core social, cultural, and environmental commitments which the Trump administration daily disavows, then and now. This is work of remembrance, inspiration, defiance and hope.
Exhibiting artists include: Eve Ackroyd, Agnes Barley, Natalie Baxter, Tomoko Daido, John Derian, Celia Gerard, Susan Graham, Hugo Guinness, Emily Hass, Tina Hejtmanek, Sara Jones, Chenta Laury, Eric Lebofsky, Jenny Monick, Kristen Palazzo, Jack Pierson, Elliott Puckette, Karen J. Revis, Suzy Spence, and Alison Van Pelt.
