“Beyond the Decorative” is a collective contemporary art exhibition at Great Park Gallery. An opening reception is 1–3 p.m. Sunday, October 16. The exhibition runs through Saturday, December 31.

Before the 19th century, art served as an ornament, decorating walls and living quarters. “Beyond the Decorative” surveys how contemporary artists are redefining decorative techniques and subjects by creating new narratives relating to individuality and self-expression through the mediums of painting, photography, video, sculpture, textile design, and wallpapers.
