Visual Humor Art Exhibit at Del Ray Artisans Gallery
Join us for the Opening Reception on Friday, January 3, 7-9pm. The exhibit runs January 3 - February 1, 2025.
Humor is aesthetic to the extent that it arouses the viewers’ imagination, provides them with insights about human existence, and provokes them to think more critically and creatively. –M. Gordon 2012
The joy found in comedy delights all. Visual Humor, a lighthearted exhibit at Del Ray Artisans gallery, offered artists the opportunity to provoke their own creativity in search of a chuckle. Visual Humor explores not only how ideas or objects are comical, but also what properties of a joke give it wings.
Join us for the opening reception on Friday, January 3 between 7-9pm to meet curator Dr. Erica Hughes and the artists. Mark your calendar now or set a reminder through Eventbrite at visual-humor.eventbrite.com.
Plus save the date for our Open Mic: Amateur Stand-Up Comedy Night on Friday, January 10, 8-10pm. Come on your own or with friends to this entertaining drop-in event. Interested in performing?
