All Together Now is an exhibition that speaks to human experience and community. The title of the exhibition references the music hall tradition of everyone joining in singing. Artists from new London, Windham, Tolland, and Middlesex counties in Connecticut and Washington County in Rhode Island were invited to submit two dimensional artworks which were reviewed by an exhibition committee. The twenty-eight selected artworks include drawing, mixed media, textile, painting, photography, and printmaking. For All Together Now Expressiones presents ARTVenture: Journeys in Creativity and Confidence, in which they proudly showcase their young artists' creative journey, featuring children ages 8 to 12. Under the guidance of their Artists-in-Residence—Toto Fernandez, Indira Urrutia, and Marc Hors—students have explored painting, drawing, and mixed media to discover and strengthen essential life skills: self-confidence, communication, teamwork, and problem-solving. Each piece in the exhibition reflects their process of exploration and growth, where art becomes a tool for self-awareness and resilience. The Alexey von Schlippe Gallery and Expressiones invite you to appreciate not only the beauty of their creations but also the transformative power of art in the holistic development of children in our community. Exhibition dates: May 9 – June 1, 2025 Gallery hours: Thursday-Sunday 12 – 4 pm
