RIVAA is thrilled to announce the opening of its summer members’ group exhibition Tell Me a Story. This distinctive exhibition showcases an array of works by various artists, each piece accompanied by the artist’s own written narrative, offering profound personal insights into their creations.
Tell Me a Story delves into the intricate relationship between visual art and storytelling. Each artwork is a reflection of the artist’s vision, expressed through diverse narrative forms, ranging from straightforward explanations to haikus and poetry. Visitors are invited to engage with these stories, blending the artist’s literary and visual expressions with their own perceptions and interpretations.
By sharing these narratives, artists provide a window into their creative processes, revealing the multilayered meanings embedded within each piece. This dynamic interaction between artist and viewer enriches the experience, fostering a deeper, more intimate connection with the artwork.
We warmly invite you to join us for the opening reception and to visit the exhibition. RIVAA Gallery is open to all and free of charge.
