Hidden Wisdom Gallery Opening Tomorrow Night!

Picture
"Based on a True Story" brings all our artists together to offer their interpretation of how we resolve truth from fiction in the world we live in.  We establish our thoughts and ideas based on various information sources be it history, religion, science, politics, media, or family.  How much of this information gets filtered objectively and at what point do we perpetuate myth as truth.  How do we seperate fact from fiction?
