Beyond The Reef was the first time a Tiki Island group show contained a thematic guideline. Allowing participating artists to stretch the theme as they wished so long as it related to the narrative phrase. The resulting broad variety of interpretations often veering wildly from island subject matter this was the gallery’s most surprising and diverse offering to date.
