Featured Exhibition

comfort

a collection of artists

March – July 2023

FAC Art Center at 5 E 2nd St

COMFORT: art objects that represent and are integral in the ritual of consumption such as tea, coffee, and other beverages that ease our hearts, start our days, and provide a common thread to our communities. Just as we institute social rituals and make personal connections around sharing these drinks, we create art that celebrates and elevates them.

Concept: an interactive multimedia show of art related to coffee and tea, and an exploration of the rituals and personal connections surrounding those drinks.

Comfort is an interactive multimedia show of art related to coffee and tea, and an exploration of the rituals and personal connections surrounding those drinks. All artworks in this gallery from mid-Atlantic artists are for sale. The work in this exhibition includes a variety of media, from illustrations to sculptural teapots to music to photographs and digital art prints. Comfort’s curating partner is Robert van Rens, a local potter, coffee enthusiast, and student of the chanoyu Japanese tea ceremony.

The opening reception will be held March 10th, from 6-8pm.
