The Vanta Guild co-founders exhibit powerful portrait collection at The Gamm Theatre
“In an age of disconnection, dispossession, and disinformation, this collection of portraits seeks to remind the viewer of the critical importance of our shared humanity while also exploring the question of which is more damaging:
The things we think but do not say or the things we say but do not think.”
