Exhibit: Point of View by Arches - W9, May 7- June 7, 2026.

Location: W-9

On View: May 7- June 7, 2026

Opening Reception: May 9, 2026, Saturday 6 - 9pm

Every person has a distinct point of view in how they see the world. But how often have you considered other points of view? If you are an earth worm or a hummingbird, what do you see? Or have you thought about the perspective of an extremely tall person or short person and what they encounter in their life? How does that shape their reality? A common saying of "put yourself in someone else's shoes" applies here. Have you ever thought about the point of view of a tree that has shed its leaves for the winter? How about a stream? Or an astronaut?

We invite all to look at each artist's piece and see if you can figure out the Point of View the artist has chosen for each piece of art. It could be something as simple as their own personal view of what excites them in the world or their surroundings. Yet it could be dinner for the hungry butterfly of bee who only sees the flower nectar as a meal. And one more thought, is any Point of View more important than another or is everything extremely important from that person, being or thing that is experiencing existence.

Arches gallery has 17 diverse artists who show their artwork at the Workhouse and have their studios off campus. We each have a book within the gallery which shows many photos of each artists artwork so the viewer can learn more about the artist when they are not gallery sitting. The gallery is installed with art from each artist and dispersed throughout the gallery. We have monthly Featured Artists show. May is a group show with one piece from every artist.
