Chroma

Chroma celebrates the unique and intimate approaches of expression through non-representational works while considering perspectives grown from personal experience and expertise. Works included in this show are foraged from non-traditional responses, unique color choices, and an adaptation of approaches. Spanning a multitude of mediums, these selected works create an environment both familiar and foreign, universal and individualized, eccentric and pacific. Viewers of the show are welcome to embrace the innovation of abstraction and how these works inevitably correlate with their inner voice.

The Art of Storytelling

Orion Art Center and Orion Township Public Library (OTPL) present the second annual Art of Storytelling Exhibition. Each participant received a free copy of the book Kitchens of the Great Midwest to read and create art inspired by the book. Participants then incorporated an element from OTPL's maker's space. It was a beautiful collaboration of literature and art!

The exhibition is on view until April 1, 2024, by appointment only.

Opening Reception: Friday, September 22, from 6:30pm to 8:00pm, 2023
