FORM & VOID is our second exhibit in our “YIN & YANG: A SEASON OF CONNECTION & BALANCE” exhibits. FORM & VOID includes a diverse selection of work from 24 artists from all over the country. By displaying a collection of perspectives on a common theme, the exhibit offers a unique cultural and educational experience, which creatively illustrates the diversity of the human condition. Sculpture, oil, mixed media and silkscreen are just a few of the art mediums represented in this exhibit.
Our art talk, “The Evolution of Social/Political Artwork in the context of FORM & VOID,” will take place on Saturday, Nov. 22, at 3 p.m., and will be given by the artist Robert Markey.

The Golden Thread Gallery, with the mission of connecting the human spirit through the arts, began presenting meaningful work in 2013. The Golden Thread Gallery exhibits professional and emerging artists from various backgrounds and welcomes all mediums, all cultures and religions. By displaying a collection of various perspectives on a common theme, we reveal how art can creatively illustrate the diversity of the human condition. Our name, The Golden Thread, represents the invisible, underlying connection that weaves together the spirit of humanity – through the arts. To date we have had over 150 artists from all over the world present their work at the gallery.
