“We are placing curatorial power into the hands of the community, and we are excited to see how it will evolve,” said Phyllis Korab, Director, Cultural Affairs Department. “Guided by a series of questions to elicit our feelings and beliefs about the concept of home, this exhibition seeks to tap into visitor’s thoughts and experiences as a launching point for creativity.”
Recently, students from Moreland’s Alternative Education Academy have been engaged in exploring their own ideas about what “home” means to them through artmaking activities. The resultant work will be on display through the run of the exhibition.
Public events are scheduled monthly. Below are a few highlights; full details and ticket information is available at www.pompanobeacharts.org
