This juried exhibit focuses on the metaphorical expression, “The Elephant in the Room.” It denotes, usually, a large obvious truth, problem or condition that is repressed or intentionally overlooked, because no one wants to discuss, challenge, or deal with it in any way. It can occur individualistically or on a world wide scale. The exhibit includes both traditional and non-traditional works in photography, painting, sculpture, collage, encaustic and various forms of mixed media. Twenty eight artists offer reflective interpretations on a personal, social, and political scale making this an exhibit of mammoth proportions.
