Cuatro Cuadrado is a new group exhibit with somewhat of a twist. Participating artists chose from precut canvas or panels in 4" x 4", 8" x 8" or 12" x 12" sizes. They were free to work with whatever theme they wished, but were encouraged to further explore the exhibit title by investigating cultural meanings of the number 4. For example, in both Native American and Latin American cultures the number 4 represents the four cardinal directions which is highly spiritual, and in many Asian cultures the number 4 is seen as unlucky.

This exhibit is of a growing and evolving new series of work inspired by the strength of women and their contributions to society. The series began as a triptych of soldaderas created for a recent exhibit and transformed into representations of women in the local creative community. Come join us for an introduction to a fabulous expanding series of work that will be sure to please.
