## About This Program

> "Human emotion"

*Smiles & Frowns* is an exploration of human emotion. From the simplicity of a smiley face to the complexity of a beautiful realist portrait, and everything in between.

Whether expressed through portraiture or in more unexpected ways, we're interested in the full spectrum of what it means to feel.

Presented by **The BruHaus (www.thebruhaus.art)**, the exhibition will take place at **Birdhouse Estates (www.bird-house.com)**, where we're currently in residence—a beautiful indoor/outdoor gallery space filled with natural light and surrounded by lush gardens, making it a pretty magical place to experience art.
