SUSAN HENSEL GALLERY
a gallery of narrative art
Opened
September 10, 2004
The Mission of Susan Hensel Gallery is to Communicate, Change and Share
Communicate stories using all the senses and and any media, using art to transform personal experience into universal understanding.
Change readers/observers into active participants embedded in the narrative of the object or event and change the point of view of the reader/observer through activist art.
Share ideas and stories by creating opportunities for public interaction and opportunities for collecting
Susan Hensel Gallery is a gallery/ workspace devoted to the concept of narrative in the arts. It is the belief of Susan Hensel that humans are a "storymaking species" who will always seek, find or provide a story for any experience. It is the intent of Susan Hensel Design to provide experiences to stretch and test the storymaking impulse.
The special focus of the gallery is broad enough to encompass all media, all approaches. The gallery will present 5-6 shows per year, group or solo.The dedicated gallery space is intimate, with hardwood floors and high tin ceilings. The gallery is open to the public during receptions and by generous appointments. You are welcome to drop by this gallery/workspace at anytime, but a call ahead prevents frustration .
