An exhibition of installations, photography and poetry
The Arroyo Arts Collective invites you to join us for Fools for Hope, a juried multi-disciplined exhibition comprised of public art installations, on the grounds of La Tierra de la Culebra Art Park, paired with photography and poetry.
A popular fixture in cultural and literary history, the jester fool embodies many qualities often associated with the archetypal artist: witty, daring, creative, wise yet common, eternally hopeful even in times of despair. These qualities are valuable today more than ever, as our community emerges from a year like we have never seen before.
