Wild.  

Wild Thoughts. Wild Actions. Wild Places. Wild Beings.

Taking an expansive approach to wild, wildness, and wilderness, Glassell Gallery invited contemporary local and regional artists and culture bearers to submit work that embraces radical imagination and radical noticing of both the wild within us and the wild that surrounds us. The exhibition was juried by artist and Xavier Professor of Art Ron Bechet. Of the 239 entries by 80 artists, 44 works by 37 artists are included in the exhibition.
