Talisman for the Perfect Stranger: Community Art Exhibition & Benefit Auction

Free admissions ($5 donation is recommended)

This community art exhibition reimagines the talisman as a universal gesture of goodwill—an offering crafted for a stranger, embodying shared wishes for protection, safe passage, and good fortune.

Created during a community workshop at King Manor Museum inspired by Korean talisman traditions, these fifteen unique talismans were made by twelve local residents. Each participant imbued their piece with a personal intention, uniting individual goodwill into a shared community gift.

SILENT AUCTION
All talismans are available via silent auction.
