The opening reception for The Human Head exhibit took place on Sunday, Aug. 25th. It was a very well attended event with all the artists present or represented. Also, in attendance to celebrate the event were Westbury Arts’ board members and the new executive director.
The current show in exhibition is an exploration of The Human Head. Artists throughout history have depicted the human head to convey unique perspective and to evoke emotional responses. These artists go beyond capturing a likeness; the human head allows them to conjure up feelings of sympathy, amusement, identification, anger, pity, or adoration. The goal of this exhibition is for the viewer to reflect upon the essence of humanity and the unseen dimensions that influence individual stories, with an emphasis on our shared humanity.
The show will be up until September 27, 2024. Gallery hours are Thursdays 12pm-4pm, Fridays 2pm-6pm, and Saturdays 10am-2pm.
