Panreality

Opening Reception: Saturday, April 18 | 4PM- 6PM

Show opens with a soft opening on Wednesday, April 8.

Panreality is a new exhibition curated by Maxim Schmidt, with a soft opening April 8 and an opening reception on the 18th.

Panreality is an invented term to describe the whole of each of our experienced realities, colored beyond the literal, objective world by the ephemeral, the emotional, the surrealistic, the indescribable.

This exhibition will highlight artists who explore this beyond, and how these additional facets of experience make a moment truly lived within.


The Gallery Upstairs at the Institute Library features a challenging roster of contemporary art exhibitions throughout the year. We offer visual art with strong connections to words, language, literature, libraries, and collections, with the active interest of sparking dialogue, providing a locus and salon for visual culture within our community. 
Do you make art that relates to words, books archives or collections?
