The Power of Hope

Barbara Johannes: A Call to Artists and a New Exhibit for the New Year

Inspiring artists to reflect on the start of a new beginning.


January 14 through February 6, 2022

Burnett Gallery at Gualala Arts

Free


As we begin a new year, it is a good time to think about hopes and aspirations for ourselves, our family and friends, our nation, our planet, and any other guide that gives us the strength to do positive things.

Hope defined:
• feeling of expectation/desire for a certain thing to happen • a person or thing that may help save someone
• grounds for believing that something good may happen
• wanting something to happen
• intending, if possible to do something

And then Consider:
• What gives you hope
• What do you hope for
• What is the aura of hope: color, texture, motion
• How does hope help you deal with beginnings & endings • How does hope empower you
• How does hope affect your daily life

It is the goal of this new exhibit that you will be inspired to think hopefully and create a piece that you can share. Who knows what hope you may ignite in others!

Entry forms due December 31, 2021.
