About the Exhibition
In cooperation with the Center for Emerging Visual Artists, The Leonard Pearlstein Gallery at Drexel University is proud to present Far Away from the Beginning: A Departure from Childhood Idealism, curated by Tara Caton.

Exhibiting Career Development Program Fellows include: Anne Canfield, Darla Jackson, Joelle Jensen, John Karpinski, Jedediah Morfit, Caleb Nussear, Scott Pellnat, Peter Prusinowski, Serena Perrone, Matthew Neff, and Cecelia Rembert. The artwork in this exhibition examines a departure from the idealism of childhood. Once we outgrow the comfort of our youth, we are exposed to the complex reality of adulthood. Life experiences alter our childhood memories creating a complex fantasy world of idealism and darkness. These artists look back on their early years to regain a sense of hope but can’t escape the melancholy of age. Distanced from the toys, adventures, and dreams of our past, we are all far away from the beginning.
