About Our Themes

At the Arts Center, you will find many of the exhibitions and programs are organized around a common theme.

We believe that in the arts, as in so many aspects of life, context matters. A theme affords this context and provides a richer exploration of the arts.

In choosing our theme, we look closely at where the needs and interests of our various constituencies intersect with the work of artists. Using this model, the Arts Center delves into timely and relevant ideas in a way that allows multiple perspectives to be heard.

When moving from one exhibition to another, we invite you to carry the experiences from one gallery into the next. When attending a performance, workshop, or other program, please take some time before or after to visit the galleries for additional interpretations of the theme.

Our goal is to offer a broad spectrum of arts experiences that resonate throughout your visit to the Arts Center and beyond.
