O Lar, which means “The Home” in Brazilian Portuguese, is an exhibit of illustration works which look at how artists incorporate the idea of “home” in their work. Curator Michaela Flint asked artists to create or share work that was inspired by the idea of what home means to them. The result is a rich and varied collection of illustrations which illuminate the enduring bond to one’s home. The artists represented in this exhibit are Andrés Vera Martínez, Eda French, Emily Woodbury, Erika Jamece, Erin Dodge, Isabella Rotman, Jamie Hogan, Kate Gardner, Katie Steere, Leticia Plate, Logan White, Lynne Cullen, Mary Cruz, and Sally Wagley.
