Words & pictures are basic forms of communication. But we don't all write or read the same language. Images may have different context depending on your background. In Words + Pictures celebrate the unique ways in which we communicate visually & discover how art can transcend language. Work on display includes calligraphy in multiple languages, illustrations, mixed media works combining text and image, & even rare books.
