Storytelling

1337 Gallery

2nd Friday Art Walk Receptions: June 8 & July 13 • 5–8pm

There is a rich history in the Bay Area of art that is essentially storytelling. This exhibit is a look at what stories a broad range of artists are telling now.

Stories implied, mysterious, compelling, reminiscent, mind-bending, quiet, boisterous, surreal, or everyday. We tried to include many art traditions and media looking for art that makes us ask, ‘What is happening here!?!’
