Paradigms of Perception
MESA Studio & Gallery proudly presents to the public Paradigms of Perception.
POPkw
POPkw is an art exhibit focused on showcasing the work of artists using visual, conceptual, and literal expressions of ideas. Seeing through the eyes of the artist versus what the viewer perceives. Challenging the norm or popular opinion of how we view art and the world around us and how we use that information to form our own opinions or views.
Our goal is to open the lines of communication between artist and audience. To create a dialogue. Engage the viewer and explore the differences and similarities in our perceptions.
Exhibition dates:
Opening Reception- Thursday October 27th 8pm-11pm BUY TICKETS
Regular Exhibition Hours- Friday October 28th-30th 11am-5pm
