The Intimate Value of Art
We are spending a lot of time at home, surrounded by our personal environment, and here is where art plays a key role. Art in a domestic setting is an intuitive form of self-expression, it reflects identity and personality; it provides value to our lives in unexpected ways.
Working from Home
We are now all set working from home! Our current global situation is allowing us to re-think the way in which we exhibit, access and experience art.
