Diving Deeper: Let Me Show You This

The art in “Let Me Show You This” inspires us to think about how artists contribute to quality of life for all people through their creative efforts. Daily experiences are shaped by graphic design, music, architecture, art making, and more. The works on view in this exhibition are loaned from personal homes, where they contribute to the most familiar and personal of daily experience

Consider one aspect of the arts in your life. Without it, what would you miss most about it?

Using words or images, we invite you to share your story about what art means to you.   #wfmaartstories
