Our sense of place is often woven from narratives and myths, creation stories, family histories and even fictional tales \u2013 all of which help us understand and imagine the places we call home. A \u201cSense of Place\u201d invited artists to participate in a diverse and thoughtful interpretation of what it means to connect with place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery
