SomArts Main Gallery will be presenting "Heartland: An Exercise in Beauty" during the month of February 2005.  Curated by Mark Mace, the exhibition will feature works by artists:

"The pursuit of happiness, love and beauty in a world warped by excessive negativity has required contemplation, persistence and devotion.  It is our personal responsibility to open our hearts and cultivate new territory in which beauty can grow and thrive.  Our own individual Heartland exists as a physical, spiritual and emotional anchor for us to create, perceive, and appreciate beauty."  Mark Mace, curator
