That’s How the Light Gets In

Event Description

Inspired by Leonard Cohen’s line, “There is a crack, a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in,” this small group show explores how light emerges through imperfection and vulnerability. Cracks and gaps – whether literal or metaphorical – act as gateways to deeper understanding, connection, and hope.

Each piece explores facets of this theme: spiritual illumination through natural landscapes, warmth and belonging in domestic scenes, personal revelations through artistic expression, and the transformative power of creativity. Art is presented not only as a reflection of these ideas but also as an inner spark that guides both the artist and viewer through challenging times.

Together, the works illustrate how the unavoidable but essential difficulties and flaws in life can lead to beauty, insight, hope, and transformation.
