Think Round Fine Arts is pleased to present Peculiar Institutions, an exhibition featuring current ArtSeed artist and student works plus related earlier pieces from founder Josefa Vaughan’s childhood and her Houston artist friends. The exhibition will open on May 12, 2018, with a public reception on May 19 from 5-7PM. The exhibition will be up through Saturday, June 30, with a closing reception from 5-7PM.
ArtSeed artists and children have concerns: Together we are grappling with tough subjects such as the evolution of slavery and its various contemporary manifestations. After studying history, and looking at the challenges faced by democracies around the world, what might be our own enslavements and aspirations?
This exhibition at Think Round Fine Arts serves ArtSeed as a curriculum-building tool for our upcoming Summer Intensive activities. In addition, it seeks viewer response to help guide our choice of works to be included in ArtSeed’s upcoming larger Fall exhibition at Tides Converge in the Presidio, Thursday, September 6 – Saturday, October 6, 2018.
