Art Explorers

Art Explorers presents its 14th Annual November

show, Inside / Out, virtually this year at artexplorers.org beginning on Nov. 1. The show features work from 36 artists, focused around the things we have been dealing with throughout the pandemic —being inside, longing for what is outside. Finding joy in small places, creating a fantasy world to escape to, missing our friends and favorite things. Artwork will be for sale online and in their studio—all sales benefit the artist and Art Explorers directly. The Art Explorers studio at 333 N. Franklin St., Fort Bragg, will be open Sundays in November from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., with safety protocol of masks and social distancing in place. Visit their Facebook page or Instagram@artexplorersfb for live videos and updates. Art is good for your immune system!
