3rd Biennial Exhibition: THE PEACE OF WILD THINGS
Artessa Alliance is excited to announce its 3rd Biennial Exhibition, “THE PEACE OF WILD THINGS”, at the renowned Cheltenham Center for the Arts, September 15 – October 10, 2025. An Opening Reception will be held on Thursday, September 18, 2025, 6-8pm.
Inspired by Wendell Berry’s poem of the same name, “The Peace of Wild Things” explores the intersection of nature, tranquility, and the human spirit. The exhibition showcases a diverse and vibrant collection of works by members of Artessa Alliance, a collaborative of Philadelphia women artists.
Highlights of the exhibition include a meditative installation focused on resilience and transformation, as well as works inspired by the captivating forms of human life and the natural world—encompassing animals, plants, and non-living elements of ecosystems and the environment —that encourage viewers to take a closer look at the world around them. Discover introspective and innovative approaches to photography, mixed and emerging media, alongside traditional works that enhance the appeal of this diverse exhibition. Each piece invites viewers to reflect on the restorative power of both explicit and imagined wild places, as well as the sense of calm they offer amid life’s chaos.
The Opening Reception is free and open to the public, offering attendees the opportunity to meet the artists, enjoy light refreshments, and experience an evening that promises an inspiring atmosphere for art lovers, collectors, and anyone seeking a moment of peace through the creative process. We hope this exhibition provides visitors with a space to pause and rediscover the solace found in the wild.
