The phrase make-believe embraces the power of fantasy to ultimately impact reality in ways that are uniquely creative, positive, and productive. In this exhibition, nine artists synthesize a make-believe imagination with provocative mental role play, metamorphosis and hybridity, and idea-driven narratives and imagery. The artists in Make|Believe expand our openness to play, sense of discovery, and growth potential.
