Gallery Reception

Saturday October 8

1 to 4PM

NIAD Art Center

Join us at NIAD Art Center to celebrate our October exhibitions!

Main Gallery // Feeling Language, organized by Kate Laster

About the Exhibition

This show is all about comfort text: resilience in everyday words, writing and reading. Expression can also be wordless, the use of line and color as new vocabulary, pushing a thought out onto a surface, making marks and continuously trying to communicate with the world. 

We tell stories to sustain ourselves and find each other. These messages embedded in art become an emotional telegram– a signal flare with a flame of memory trailing behind it.  FEELING LANGUAGE is about books, lists, slogans, language, gesture, touch and the trust given in sharing.
