Storytellers

For September Third Friday (from home) Project Onward presents a new virtual exhibition: "Storytellers." 

All works go live on our website Friday, September 18th at 10 AM CST!

Storytelling is a human impulse, a cultural activity meant to entertain and enlighten others. All forms of visual art can function as a way for the artist to convey a moment or moments in time within a larger story. If effective, narrative art engages the viewer’s interest and moves them to some form of emotional response.

Many Project Onward artists are pathological storytellers. Some of the stories featured in their works are based upon themes varying from children’s literature to images of historical events, while others come directly from the artist’s imagination.

Here we highlight some their new and unique narratives. We hope you empathize with their characters and feel their sorrow and their joy. You may be humored or even shocked by their statements and actions. Above all, we wish for you to be entertained and enlightened by our storytellers!
