Sacred Space showcases the work of six artists, each committed to the exploration of both ordinary and extraordinary subjects they find in the world as visual creators.

This exhibition extends a unique invitation to its artists to traverse the realms of ruins, environment, culture, and spirituality. Each element allows for expression of what sacred means to each, culminating in a storyboard of favorite and important subject matter. The title also underlines the nature of the venue itself: the sacred space of The Cove Gallery, formerly the Goetemann Gallery, on historic Rocky Neck.

The theme challenges the artists to reinterpret and transcend the mundane aspects of life, presenting a fresh perspective on what constitutes sacredness. By focusing on ruins, environment, culture, and spirituality, the exhibition aims to create a diverse and immersive experience for the audience.

  To actively involve visitors to the exhibition, the artists plan to incorporate programming that stimulates contemplation and fosters group engagement in an artist-led initiative.
