“Art has always been the raft onto which we climb to save our sanity.
I don’t see a different purpose for it now.” ~ Dorothea Tanning
I don’t see a different purpose for it now.” ~ Dorothea Tanning
“The precise role of the artist, then, is to illuminate that darkness, blaze roads through vast forests, so that we will not, in all our doing, lose sight of its purpose, which is, after all, to make the world a more human dwelling place.” ~James Baldwin

OUR YEAR OF CONSERVATION CONTINUES...
David Yarrow "Contentment"
Dear Friends,
History is recorded by the artists. Without art, we would know very little about the evolution of humanity. The mechanisms of our world as we know it has come to a surreal pause. Yet, this is a very special time in the history of our world. As we learn how to navigate our daily lives, we are faced with thinking about what is most relevant to our very existence.
And that is precisely what we intend to do. Since we had to postpone our scheduled series of exhibitions this spring with our theme of CONSERVATION, we decided to bring you a special opportunity to meet the artists, along with experts in various fields of art, in their own homes, up close and personal, as we introduce our HILTON | ASMUS LIVE broadcast series. We want to share with you the artist's perspective, in real time, with real people to try to understand how the creative mind is coping with and embracing this time of imposed isolation.
