I-Am-A-Heather-Art for Anyone with a Name| April 18th - May 17th, 2008

 

I am a Heather is an art showcase composed of artwork by and about people with the first name Heather. Curated by Heather Mallak, the exhibition intends to explore the social and psychological relevance and connotations of names. By observing artwork by or about Heathers from varying social and geographical climates, everyone is invited to consider the importance and impact of their own first name.
