NEWS:
Verum Ultimum is moving and during the transition Verum's strong virtual presence will be in full force with new exhibitions, the newly acquired virtual galleries, social media fanfare, new calls for art, and blogposts. "I extend a heartfelt thank you to my Concordia neighbors for sharing my enthusiasm for great art exhibitions. Together we enjoyed the works of over 1000 artists, more than

50 exhibitions, great musicians, and epic events. This is not a goodbye because I know your steady gaze will remain and track us as we land in our new space (and spaces*)." Jennifer

It’s fun to look back at the original “TREE: Breath of Humanity” and David Cohen’s masterful delicate visual poetry in, “The Wisdom of Trees No. 4 - Reverence for the Elders,” while jury is in progress for the upcoming 2nd edition. I am fortunate to find a path through these woods of inspiration… more to come!

Thank you from my whole heart to all Fierce & Frail III artists. This thoughtful collection proved that fierceness only exists when frailties are recognized and honored. Like an ecosystem, balance thrives when there is a bit of both…this is true for this collection, in all art forms, and in life…”of beings, beasts, and seed.”
As with all Verum exhibits, this exhibition will remain part of the website for all Verum time (and the 3D virtual will deinstalled by June 20th).

Discovering disruptions in the usual or predictable is so engaging. Today’s trio delivers disruptions with a bit of discomfort within the cacophony of form. Art & story serve as reminders that something may be amiss, like an alarm to wake to! Things aren’t as they appear…and danger may lurk at every turn.

Details will be in stories then highlights 🥳

Some say, “it’s in the little things,” and artist Morgan Curtis takes us there as he zooms in on small everyday items that go largely unnoticed. He sets them in a heroic stage. There’s a delicate quality to his brushwork (as if seen through a veil).

Emotion resonates from these expressive works. These 3 artists tap into the depth to reveal the waves that crash under the surface…delivering seas of stories (ripe for the picking)!

Details will be in stories then highlights 🙏

Today’s feature is alive with expression. The effervescent, maximalist abundance, and joy that Elaine Dunham delivers with her brush…astounding!

In her words…
LITTLE LIVE THINGS
What power and beauty lie in the tiniest components of life.
Genes, germs, and grand plans.
Stunning arrangements.
Mysteries to most of us.
