Exhibit Overview
An old song. A familiar smell. A specific color. What triggers a memory for you? Take a trip down memory lane, and explore artwork that evokes a sense of nostalgia. In this exhibition, artists reminisce the past through their artwork. Whether memories from their own history, iconography of decades past, or exploring the longing feelings associated with nostalgia, local artists use artwork as a vignette to tell a story about the past.
