The Acorn Center for the Performing Arts transforms into a visual art space with our new initiative, Art at The Acorn.
Currently on View: Nathan Margoni, Golden Boy
Artist Statement:
My art is a form of self-exploration. I develop characters that represent different aspects of my psyche, and slowly build worlds around them. This process allows me to explore mysterious and sometimes scary parts of my brain in a safe space where I am free to play and take risks. My most recent character – Golden Boy – represents a very wholesome and midwest version of myself, who works hard to be loved by everyone, but has lost touch with his own dreams and vision of success.
