SUMMARY:Even As We Grieve Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Peter Bruun\, Together (detail\, one of 27 panels)\, 2022-2023. Oil on gessoed panel\, 12 x 18 in.\n  \nJoin the Gallery for a festive evening celebrating the opening of artist-in-residence Peter Bruun’s exhibition\, Even As We Grieve. The exhibition explores how human connection helps us endure and transform experiences of pain\, loss\, and crisis.
