“Art is the highest form of hope,” is a line first expressed by the German painter Gerhard Richter in 1982.

Difficult times come to us all at some point in our lives. Art helps us to overcome obstacles, offers us solace and can bring joy back into our lives. It can have a transformative effect on our mental health and well being. This show is about transcending the darkness and struggles we may be feeling and lightening our emotional burdens.
