Pictures tell a story, a story evokes images, a certain tangible object has a life of its own, depending on the tale it summons up in the viewer or the story its creator has endowed it with. Sometimes the art illuminates the words and sometimes the art is a direct contradiction of those words. The art of story draws viewers in and lets them become part of a world, real or imagined, created to delight and inform, with beauty, humor, imagination and not a little magic.
It is our privilege to invite you into our worlds. Visit The Art of Story: Illustration and Narrative Art Show in the Emerson Umbrella Center for the Arts Gallery from August 13 through October 1, 2012.
