The exhibition features artists currently practicing at Creative Growth: Kristian Cheek, Meyshe Shapiro-Nygren, John Martin, William Tyler, Larry Randolph, and George Wilson. Together, these artists all have a form of storytelling within their individual practices that takes the viewer into worlds both imagined and real.
