What’s So Funny? is Rocky Neck Art Colony’s (RNAC) next juried exhibition featuring the recent work by 43 artists from 7 states. Humor in art serves many purposes – as a light moment in dark times, as a commentary to illuminate or challenge, or simply as a small treat, a bit of candy. Employing a rich variety of media and techniques, including painting, photography, sculpture, installation and stop motion animation, these artists poke fun, elicit cheap laughs, and expose truths. Popular culture icons, the animal kingdom, contemporary social issues, and the human condition are all fair game. Come, figure out what’s so funny, and laugh with us.
