Join us on Friday, January 24 from 5-7 to celebrate the opening of a new exhibition that celebrates the fantastic through paintings, drawings, maps, weapons, and other works that sweep us away to imaginary realms.
Fantasy’s Spell: The Art of Enchantment highlights the work of present-day artists whose vivid imaginations and technical skill demonstrate the power that fantasy holds to enchant us – whether for pleasure or fright. Presenting work across a variety of physical, digital, and motion-based media, the exhibition celebrates fantasy’s popularity and growing importance as a genre in contemporary art. Curated in partnership with Jonathan Wallis, PhD, Program Head, Professor of Art History and Humanities, Creative & Critical Studies.
Artists in the exhibition include Daria Aksenova, Francesca Baerald, Shawn Bina, Julie Bell, Allison Carrier, Dom Evans, Tyler Jacobson, Charis Loke, Winona Nelson, Tran Nguyen, Victo Ngai, David Palumbo, Mike Schley, Jarel Threat, and Katie Woods.
