Get In The Holiday Spirit With The Interactive Cheer! Exhibit


by Jessica Cross 20 Nov 2020 6:00 AM

Gossypion (Gossy) and Headington Companies collaborated to bring the Cheer! Exhibit to Dallas. This is a site-specific exhibition that highlights women and artists of color. Each work re-interprets a holiday feeling or memory.

There are four site-specific installations by Jessica Bell, Outloud, Chloe Curiel x Iam450, and Jennifer Wester. Each one provides guests with photo-worthy moments as they experience a bit of wonder, joy, and holiday cheer.

“Thinking about the holidays and the year we’ve all been living through,” said Darryl Ratcliff, artist and co-founder of Gossypion.

“There’s been a lot of destruction, political and racial tension, and grief in people’s daily lives. So creating this immersive experience for folks, we wanted it to be reflective of these times, but retain an element of joy and wonder and the sense of disbelief that art can bring.”

“These are just really spectacular artists and installations,” said Ratcliff. “It is a lot of fun and I hope folks can enjoy it.”
