THINGS WE LOVE is an Art Explorers group exhibition celebrating the things that make us who we are, through paintings and drawings of things we love!
On view throughout the month of February at Headlands Coffeehouse, the show honors Black History Month while exploring love in all its beautiful forms. Featuring artwork by artists from the Art Explorers studio art program, the show invites us to share in the joy of these artists and reflect on what we cherish most.
