The Art of Essence From Cordova Community Council

The Art at City Hall (AACH) exhibit in July 2026 will be our 56th show.  "The Art of Essence" will allow you to look at something and just notice the overall shapes, colors, and lines of a simple object or scene and abstract the essence of that object. Think Picasso and cubism, taking an object or scene and simplifying it. Do your homework and get out of your comfort zone. Juror Kate Farrall
