For their next group show, artists of the Fort Gallery are paying homage to the late Leonard Cohen.

鈥淭here is a crack in everything, that鈥檚 how the light gets in,鈥� running Feb. 7 to March 4, features artwork inspired by lyrics of Cohen鈥檚 1992 hit Anthem.

鈥淎s most of us are realizing more deeply, we are living in challenging times. We see the effects of climate change, violence around the world and displacement of families and populations due to political chaos and war,鈥� the gallery said in a press release.

鈥淲e hear of ever hardening points of view, human rights abuses and discrimination. We long to find ways to encourage our humanity, understanding and caring. We long to see through the cracks to the light we know shines for us all.

鈥淥ne of the promises of art has been to reflect for us both our realities and our pathways forward. As George Bernard Shaw wrote: 鈥榊ou use a glass mirror to see your face; you use works of art to see your soul.鈥欌��

The public is invited to a reception for the show, held in conjunction with the March 鈥淔irst Thursday鈥� event, on Thursday, March 1 from 7 to 9 p.m.

Regular gallery hours are Wednesday to Sunday, noon to 5 p.m. The Fort Gallery is located at 9048 Glover Rd.
