A two-day exhibit takes art off the walls and onto different forms, making the gallery feel less intimidating

Art doesn’t always belong on pristine white walls. Sometimes it spills over onto clay, fabric, rope, porcelain, or even magnets. That’s the spirit behind Art Off the Walls, the two-day exhibition by Artezvous at Cymroza Art Gallery. Nineteen artists are reimagining creativity in forms outside of their comfort zones. No canvases, sculptures, or art that you have to scratch your head to understand.
Curated by Payal Shah and Bindal Shah, the show asks a simple but bold question: What happens when artists step away from their canvases? Think crochet and macrame, ceramics and embroidery — all objects you can live with, touch, or even repurpose, carrying the artistic expression into your everyday spaces. It’s art that moves from the gallery into your living room, your kitchen shelf, or your study desk. Here’s a peek at some of the artists displaying their works at the exhibit.
