Join us for an opening reception of “We Need Beauty Now More than Ever” at Kaleidoscope artist collective, featuring the work of resident Kaleidoscope artist Gili Wolf.
“We Need Beauty Now More Than Ever” is a heartfelt reminder of what connects us during this time fraught with anxiety, uncertainty, and unrest on so many fronts. This spring themed art show brings together vibrant, intricate, and deeply human works that celebrate the transformative power of beauty.
From bold floral mandalas to large-scale paper installations that ripple like petals in the wind, the pieces invite viewers to pause, breathe, and remember their place in something larger and more beautiful. These artworks are a celebration of color, craft, and care—honoring the small joys and delicate intricacies that make life meaningful.
This s a collective call to return to wonder, to nature, and to each other, and a visual reminder that in times of upheaval, beauty is not frivolous—it is essential.
