Dr. Seuss: 25 Years Through The Wrong End of The Telescope

Upcoming Exhibit

The Art of Dr. Seuss

In collaboration with the AO5 Gallery, we are excited to bring the Art of Dr. Seuss to the Crossroads with our new exhibit, "25 Years Through The Wrong End of The Telescope". 

Ted Geisel, a.k.a. Dr. Seuss, spent his life pushing open
the doors of conventional thought, ushering in new
directions and ideas. The works included in this exhibition feature classic characters from his iconic children's books such as The Cat in the Hat and The Grinch. Also on display are some of his more unseen artworks, private art featuring darker tones and surreal imagery.

“I like nonsense. It wakes up the
brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary
ingredient in living, it’s a way of looking
at life through the wrong end of a
telescope. Which is what I do, and that
enables you to laugh at life’s realities.” - Dr. Seuss

Admission is always free!
