Everyday LifeWhen artists focus on everyday life as a subject, bringing the world of visual art out of the realm of the upper classes or mythical or religious themes, they open up a whole world of rich experiences to explore. When we consider the theme of this gallery, it is also important to think about the contributions of craftsmen, artisans, and even ordinary people to the development of the visual arts. We hope to show the similarities between the work of classically revered artists and of those who create art out of everyday objects and experiences. Whether the intent is to give a historic account of common moments or to reveal the deeper meanings of everyday experiences, the works in this gallery show that anyone willing to look at the world with an artistic eye can produce significant and meaningful works of art.
