Open Horizons can be interpreted in many ways, both literally and figuratively — “open” is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as allowing access, passage, or a view through an empty space; not closed or blocked. The horizon is the line where the earth’s surface and sky appear to meet, but it can also refer to the limit of a person’s experience, perception, outlook or perspective. The exhibition Open Horizons will be of all interpretations.
