The Gallery at Fort Lewis College is pleased to announce the opening of Untold Stories of Wallflowers, an exhibition dedicated to showcasing the hidden works of artists whose creations have remained on the fringes, quietly awaiting their moment to be seen. This exhibition invites viewers to explore the silent strength, untapped beauty, and resilience cultivated in the shadows.
Through a carefully curated collection of mixed media, writing, sculpture, and other mediums, Untold Stories of Wallflowers sheds light on the quiet but powerful works of artists who have often gone unnoticed. Their works, just like a wallflower in a crowded room, are untold stories and reflection of deep emotions and experiences from their personal journeys. These works are rich with symbolism and meaning, offering a space for reflection on the quiet, unseen ways in which creativity grows and flourishes.
Untold Stories of Wallflowers is an exploration of how revealing art from quiet spaces serves as a testament to the untold voices waiting to be heard here. The artists featured in this exhibition were handpicked to display works that have not seen the light of day. This is their moment to shine like stars. Through these works, viewers will witness what has been hiding now emerging from the shadows.
Reception: Thursday, Dec. 5, 4:30-5:30p.m. The event is free and open to the public; refreshments will be served at the opening reception.
