This exhibition celebrates a decade of Good Hart Artist Residency and their work collaborating with artists and community partners to support, develop, and promote artists and the arts.

GHAR alumni artists, writers, and composers come together in this eclectic exhibition to recognize the unique breadth of creative work that has been supported by Good Hart Artist Residency over the past decade.
