Terrence L. Gore's "The Stroke Of Genius"

The Warrior Writers Fourth Friday event was wonderful! Filled with powerful spoken poetry from some of the artists of the exhibit, the gallery took witness to incredible visual and performance art!

Our last exhibition in this space, Terrence L. Gore's "The Stroke Of Genius", is no exception to the talent that our walls have seen!

"Creating is another form of my healing, it regenerates me and transforms my enthusiasm to its higher heights! This new collection of works explore the diversity of my gifts as it interprets the story of my new developments and the multidimensional experiences of my realities and fantasies." Visit here to learn more about Terrence and his work.
