The Art Band Presents: The Living Room
The Living Room is the third annual exhibition produced by The Art Band, featuring multi-media works by Amelia Moore, hani rosenbaum thompson, Maddie McDougall, Marciela Garcia, Mary Noyes Craig, Ryan Murray, and Sharona Color.
In a moment when joy feels radical and connection feels urgent, Living Room offers a warm, tactile alternative to the sterile “white cube” of the art world. This exhibition by The Art Band is a space to gather, sit, laugh, and talk — with each other and with the artists themselves. It’s intergenerational, informal, and full of play: a collage of colorful, messy, textured work that invites interaction, familiarity, and conversation.
