Living Colors Exhibition 2025
June 29 – July 29, 2025
Living Colors is our invitation to celebrate the richness of cultural diversity through art — to connect across languages, borders, and lived experiences.
Whether vivid or subtle, every color
here speaks to something deeply human — a feeling, a place, a memory, a question.
And all are alive.
