The 7th Annual Summer Soiree will feature an exclusive viewing of
WORD: Text in Contemporary Art. WORD explores artists’ use of text

to convey and emphasize meaning and develop aesthetic. In this
extraordinary exhibition sixteen nationally and internationally

celebrated artists demonstrate that when the use of text is successful,
the inherent lines and shapes become part of the art itself.
