2024 Dancing Krow Studio Exhibit Schedule
Take a look at the upcoming art exhibit plans for 2024. With over 20 artists represented, the gallery’s mission is to bring audience and meaningful art exhibits together in an enjoyable setting in the Oak Park’s Art District.
The Yearlong Theme - The Infinite Pulse
An exploration thru art of the universal play of dynamic and subtle qualities that exist—light, awareness, motion, activity, stability, and inertia—thru the filter of various belief systems and philosophies. Pervasive polarities become an obvious aspect of this pulse and they dance, and each movement makes cosmic sense. Exhibits dynamically move and change thru the year with different aspects presented.
The Rain Falls Equally
The first aspect of the yearlong exhibit, The Infinite Pulse, will be presented in February and March.
“As rain falls equally on the just and the unjust, do not burden your heart with judgement but rain your kindness equally on all.”
Opening reception: February 17, 1-4 pm.
Closing reception: March 16, 6:30-8:30 pm.,
April and May - The Mustard Seed Charm
Rooted in history and spirituality, this charm encapsulates the immense power of faith. As tiny as a mustard seed, it represents the potential for greatness to emerge from the smallest of beginnings. Across cultures and teachings, this symbol embodies hope, growth, and the strength of belief.
The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that someone took and sowed in his field; it is the smallest of all the seeds, but when it has grown it is the greatest of shrubs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.”
