Tropical Frequencies features artists from the Caribbean who create and engage with alternate realms in their work. These realms are heavily influenced by Caribbean culture, the tropics, memory, passed-down stories, and the artists’ African and Indigenous roots. Composing pieces that act as a medium to connect with the metaphysical, the artists tap into worlds that are imagined, spiritual, mythical, ancestral, and ultimately infinite.

GALLERY HOURS: 12-6 pm on Saturdays and Sundays
