Wanderlust is an international group exhibition inspired by travel, far-away places, adventurous experiences and fascinating destinations. Participating artists were given identical postcards and asked to create a unique piece for the show inspired by the theme “wanderlust”. We are pleased to welcome a fresh and exciting roster of contemporary artists this year, who have taken inspiration from every corner of this wonderful world.
