The Story of Art

19 March 2026 – 19 April 2026

This months exhibition The Story of Art explores the power of narrative in contemporary art. This exhibition brings together artists who engage with text and books as literal materials, as well as those whose works unfold through strong storytelling and visual narratives. Collectively, the artworks reveal how stories, written, implied, or imagined, shape meaning, memory, and human experience across artistic practices.
