From the press release:
We are pleased to present Shimmer at the Berkshire Botanical Garden’s Leonhardt Gallery. The exhibition, curated by Sue Muskat and Phil Knoll, brings together 38 artists whose drawings, paintings, prints, photographs, and sculptures are ignited by paying attention, by being present and making a record, chronicling the condition of life. Each artwork tells its own story with a singular voice in a potent conversation with the viewer.
“SHIMMER”
The artists' specific and carefully considered perspectives will invite, and at times challenge, the visitor to delve deeply into the idea of shimmer. A shimmer can be a light in the darkness, but also can, at times, be hard to detect. But shimmer is always present, and always beautiful, as these artists will attest.
