Moments of Escape

Chris Chernow’s *Moments of Escape* is an exhibition about finding joy, celebration, contemplation, community, travel, music, nature, and beauty in ordinary life. Inspired in part by the artist’s experiences attending weddings, the work reflects on dancing, quiet moments, festivities, returning home, and other forms of respite and gratitude that can be easy to overlook during stressful times.

The exhibition is curated by Judy Southerland and is presented in Studio Gallery’s Lower Gallery.
