Behind the Mask

June 21 - August 9, 2025

Freeman Health System Main Gallery

Behind the Mask challenges the audience to examine how we navigate the complex relationship between our public selves and our private identities. Whether literal, metaphorical, or psychological, the “mask” serves as a symbol of the roles we adopt, the facades we construct, and the truth we conceal.

Join us to explore the theme of masks—whether through symbolism, abstract representations, or direct depictions. This exhibit invites viewers to consider the contrast between their outward appearances and inner emotions.

Reception: June 20, 5:30-7:30 PM
