The Gallery currently consists of twenty-four exhibits (thirty-one individuals profiled) with more, perhaps, to be added.

Creativity is the underlying theme of the Gallery, its many forms and the benefits it brings to oneself and others.

I admire each of the individuals profiled and from each I feel I have learned something of value.

I hope you find the exhibits interesting. There is, in my opinion, wonderful artwork throughout the gallery as well as ideas and initiatives worth considering.

NOTE: As with galleries in general, there is a lot to “take in” here. Sample the exhibits in whatever order you like and then, return for more. Each exhibit is its own statement. Taken together, however, all are connected to and convey an underlying theme. What is that theme? I would like to think it is creativity. That, at least, is what I am aiming for. All exhibits connected to and together conveying the concept of creativity in the same way a box of sixty-four crayons conveys the concept color. An idea or concept that requires many examples before it comes into focus.

FINALLY: I believe the following pertains to the Gallery:

“…for we have our identity through involvements, and we must swear by that with which we are involved if we are vitally to be. Although one did not ask for life, nor for those mimetic involvements through which one became human, in retaining one’s life one remains indebted. One must swear by the value of one’s involvements and one’s being if one is to affirm one’s right to be. This is no narrowly ethical or legal matter but pertains to the price of individual identity itself.” Bruce Wilshire, Pg 221 in Role Playing and Identity
