About the exhibition

High Five = A greeting, an Expression of joy, a friendly exchange, a celebration, a non-verbal confirmation of yeah, a sound experience, and quite simply friends connecting.

Like a high five, this show brings together selections in conversation. Pairings of Art chosen by one Inspired the next.
