You Think That’s Funny?: Humor in Contemporary Art
Exhibition:
August 23-November 16
Opening Reception:

While humor is an essential and distinctive human emotion, it is rarely addressed in museum exhibitions. Sorely needed now more than ever, curator and artist D. Dominick Lombardi gathers narrative art by a selection of contemporary artists that will not only bring a smile to viewers but will delve into the deeper substance that makes these works meaningful.
Exhibiting artists: D. Dominick Lombardi, Mary Bailey, Mike Cockrill, Todd Colby, Bret DePalma, Judy Haberl, Peregrine Honig, Jim Kempner, Cary Leibowitz, Norm Magnusson, Susan Meyer, Adam Niklewicz, Jeff Starr, Rita Valley, and Cathy Wysocki
