Some people clean their way to happy.

Nope. Not me. I’m more of a clutter warrior. I tell myself the battle is to remove not collect.

Ah, but I digress. My point is that there are many creative ways to express anger, fear or depression, as well positive emotions, like joy, love or excitement. Art and humanity go hand in hand. We’ve been creating stories since the first caveman — or woman — picked up a rock and started scraping on the cave walls.

The Hope Arts Gallery hosts Retrospective 14, a show dedicated to celebrating the talent of students and teachers of the Hope Art Machine.

From March 1 until March 26, the public will have a chance to view these artists’ works which will be displayed in the newly renovated Back Room Gallery.

“To allow the public to become more familiar with our members, we have created unique areas in the gallery for each artist to show their work,” said the Arts Gallery in a press release. “An artist’s biography included with each display will also give more insight into the artist and what motivates them.”

In addition to the show, for the first time in several years, the gallery is also inviting participants as well as the general public to an evening celebration on Mar. 2, from…
