This year’s exhibition will center on Wilson’s spring ArtsFest ’25 theme, Shared Stories. ArtsFest is an annual celebration of the arts in our community, showcasing the remarkable art, artists, and artistic opportunities at Wilson. ArtsFest ’25 will run from April 7 – 11, 2025. As part of ArtsFest ’25, our Cooley show will center on community Shared Stories through shared experiences, participation, practice, cooperation, collaboration, presence, and engagement. Artists will address the human experience, the stories of who we are, what we are, shared hopes, dreams, anxieties, perspectives, etc. As we all know, art is central to creating and reflecting community.  For this show, artists were invited to reflect on and share collective stories & experiences, whatever those may be. Visitors can expect to see work in a variety of media, including drawing & painting, photography, design, sculpture, and more.
