Description

Grit

'Grit' embodies two powerful concepts: the unwavering perseverance required to

manifest an artistic vision, and the raw, tangible texture of substance itself.


In the imagination, an idea lives in perfection, but making your concept a reality

requires true grit. The journey from conception to creation demands resilience,

determination, and grit.


Show us your artistic courage in this show - Grit’.
