"In the making of this exhibit, we began to explore what optimism looks like … its color, value, image and movement. Does it exist during life’s positive moments or perhaps, the most challenging?"
During the pandemic, the Arts Council of Princeton issued a call to artists inviting them to submit art that expressed their response to the Concept of Optimism.
C.a Shofed and Jane Zamost's exhibit are on display now in the Paul Robeson Cultural Center.
It inspired Zamost’s “Daylight 5!” and led them, as they say now, to continue their artwork collaboration to “light it up.”
Zamost said, “Optimism is when you’re happy, but it’s also when life is giving you the pits and you need to believe that life will get better.”
