When Alyson Benford, curator of exhibitions at Cultural Arts Department pushed to bring back the popular and prestigious biennial exhibition for the City of Carlsbad at the William D. Cannon Art Gallery, she had to bring technology for the submissions up to current standards. She was rewarded by a record number of submission and narrowing the choice to 83 works by 84 artist was a task she gladly accepted.

In everywhere home our feelings about home are as varied and individual as we are. Home for some is a concrete place, a porch, a yard, a pet, For others it is capturing an emotion and those are equally as wide ranging as the look of a house. It can be memories or hopes and dreams. It can be a place of peace, or sadness or longing or joy. But this exhibition shows us that home is a depository for inspiration. 

You might have to come to this large show more than once to find the work that calls to you. And the selection shown here is just  one of many  possible gatherings. (Note: works with reflective glass, or placed so that a good photo was not possible were out of the running for this report, but this means it is even more important to go the exhibition for yourself.
