Joe Dreher's SOLO Exhibition PATRIOT opens Friday October 9th

PATRIOT - A solo exhibition by Joe Dreher aka JOEKINGATL

The pieces in this series use a number of tools and mediums including photography, murals, street art, wheatpaste, painting, sculpture, architecture, and poetry to name a few. People are his primary interest.

“[People] are not obstacles, or heroes, or rogues, or saints. They are people– dimensional and deep,” Dreher states, and his multi-dimensional work reflects that idea.“There are no strangers in your world when you meet people fully prepared to accept who they are. My work does not seek to capture or take but to give and to elevate.”

Joe is an artist in residence with The Creatives Project at The Goat Farm Arts Center.
