For this juried exhibition we asked artists to step into the man cave to observe and uncover
the concept of the male image and it’s social, physical, and psychological evolution.
Over 30 chosen artists share in their exploration of male archetypes and related issues,
both negative and positive. Some of these include masculinity and sexuality,
competitiveness, the power hierarchy, fatherhood, and pride and passion in work and play.
