“A Study of Familiar Places”

Departures Level 2, Gallery 1A
A “Study of Familiar Places” brings together works that expand the notion of travel and challenge the age limit imposed on discovery. The exhibiting artists embrace the curious traveler’s mentality in their studied approach to place, position, and perspective. Just as travelers seek new adventures or find themselves in familiar destinations, the artists’ compositions inspire a visual meandering that is rooted in their own past experiences and memories. Some artists travel to new places and others travel down memory lane and explore the vastness of their mind space. From farmer to museum curator, from El Salvador to China, from amateur to lifelong creative, these artists personify the rich mosaic of older adults in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond.
