Discover the Power of Awe Through Art

Awe is a feeling that connects us to something bigger than ourselves—a breathtaking sunset, the delicate details of a flower, or the emotional depth in a mother’s gaze. Scientists have shown that experiencing awe can improve both mental and physical health. Through this exhibit, Pacific Arts Group (PAG) captures and conveys those moments of wonder and reflection.

The works in this exhibit highlight a range of inspiring subjects that evoke awe, from the grandeur of nature to the beauty of ordinary moments. Whether it’s a vibrant landscape, a striking portrait, or an abstract interpretation, these pieces invite viewers to pause, reflect, and appreciate the magnificence around us.
