The County Collects IV: Faces in Spaces invites viewers to reflect on the spaces we create – both public and private – and take comfort in the connections we share with our fellow humans – neighbors, strangers, and everyone in between – in those spaces. The exhibition features works by fourteen artists who utilize a variety of mediums to portray individuals in their ‘element’.

Lennox Campello, Judith Elaine Peck, and Preston Sampson.
