Abracadabra
KLGs 9th Annual Juried Show
“I create as I speak”
Thought to originate from the ancient Aramaic phrase ‘avra kadabra’, which translates as ‘I create as I speak’, the word abracadabra today is synonymous with magical sleight of hand. Conjuring out of imagination’s thin air is everyday magic for the artist, whose practice also requires an alchemic process unique to each individual as they to transform their chosen media into art. You create as you speak - let your voice be heard at Kehler Liddell Gallery’s 9th annual juried show. We will find interest in anything from any time in your life, offered in any media you like.
Details:
ABRACADABRA will be a juried exhibition of 35-45 artworks to be shown at Kehler Liddell Gallery in New Haven, Connecticut taking place in January 2025.
