The happiest place on Earth might well be Disney World. In its first 2024 exhibit, HAPPY, the Glen Arbor Arts Center is vying for that title. HAPPY opens January 12 with a reception, 5-7 pm. The public is welcome.
HAPPY features the work of 26 artists who explore and interpret the many facets and meanings of happiness: literal to metaphorical, in 2D + 3D. The exhibition travels the happiness spectrum — from representational to nonrepresentational, realistic to abstract. Happy continues in the GAAC’s Main Gallery through March 21.
