Reawakening

Rare Device is proud to present our Employee Group Art show, Reawakening.

Reawakening
For all of us this theme seems particularly suitable, reflecting both the season of Spring with all its newness and the fact that each of us, in our work, is drawn to the natural world. ‘Reawakening’ suggests new growth, fresh starts, and being fully present. It shows itself in multiple ways: a sprout pushing up out of the ground, a new creative approach, or a focus on being more alive. The works shown here in all of our diverse mediums are reflective of what ‘reawakening’ means to each of us.

Featuring the works of:
