ShopCraft is excited to present local artist, Alyssa Capri’s mini-series, love and attachment. Opening on July 20th, 2017 at 6pm – the exhibition will run through August 20th.

Mixed media artist Alyssa Capri touches beautifully on the human experience – exploring love and attachment in the various types of relationships we create both internally and externally.  

From day to day attachments and affections; formed with strangers, occasional acquaintances, friends, relatives, and lovers we all experience them in our own way. Sometimes out of love and sometimes out of habit, our connections can be purely emotional, physical, or varying degrees of both. Using threads as a representation for connection and attachment, Alyssa explores how each presents outwardly, how the internal connects to the external, and how different relationships attach to you in distinctive ways.  

She regularly explores the human experience in her work, in particular love, growth, loss, and relationships, including the one we have with ourselves.

We will be celebrating 3 days of music, ethnic food, and dancing; a celebration of community and culture, with activities for the entire family; With Live Performances
