Charles Baudelaire \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen you were a child you made art, probably lots of it. You, and everyone around you, called that \"playing.\" Art is part of a child's normal response to\u003cbr\u003ealmost any aspect of life. A small child asks an art-teacher what he does at work. \"I teach people to draw\" the teacher says, and the child responds \"You mean\u003cbr\u003ethey forget?\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWithin the bounds of an imaginary dollhouse, this exhibition showcases art that\u003cbr\u003euses the tropes of playtime - storybooks, toys, dolls, games, dress-up, imaginary\u003cbr\u003efriends, and secret spaces - to explore the serious and playful nature of\u003cbr\u003eart-making. The works compel the viewer to recall the joys of make-believe\u003cbr\u003eand to appreciate the unique interpretation of \"play\" that each artist brings to\u003cbr\u003ethe dollhouse. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePriscilla Otani \u0026amp; Tanya Wilkinson, Curators \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eExhibition: January 15 - February 19, 2022 \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFeatured Artists: \u003cbr\u003eAfatasi the Artist, Glenn Bachmann, Rosalia Baltazar-Schoemaker, Marie Bergstedt, Johnny Botts, Joshua Coffy, Sas Colby, Diana Elrod, Miriam Fabbri, Kathy Fujii-Oka, Dolores M Gray, Maribel Guzman \u0026amp; Miriam Munguia \u0026amp; Jose Nunez, Trudi Chamoff Hauptman \u0026amp; Zachariah Hauptman, Dianne Hoffman, Jennifer Jigour, J.L.
