This exhibition features drawing which is known as the purest form of art.  While most of us think of drawing as pencil to paper, these artists will challenge your perception. Each artist has a distinctive style and unique voice that is known by viewers of the art.   

Drawing Connections will attract different audiences based on the diverse offerings in the gallery.  This show consist of mixed media, works on paper, and installation, etc.  There will be something for everyone.  Each viewer will experience unique perspectives of this traditional art form.
