“Art allows us to slow down for a minute, to step back and look at things differently.
“It allows us to share in a collective experience, to view the world through someone else’s eyes.”
The exhibition runs from July 22 to July 30.
It is open from 10am to 3pm daily at 1317 Albany Highway, in the Civic Administration Centre’s function room.
