Lost For Words - Cheekwood
x icon Close

Lost for Words is a pop-infused graphic arts exhibition featuring prints from Cheekwood’s permanent collection that transform language into playful visual expressions. With bold typography, Pop Art energy, and nods to everyday American culture, these works explore how we communicate through both text and image. Mixing cultural references, bold graphics, and a wink of humor, Lost for Words turns language into an adventure in visual communication. Come get delightfully, creatively lost.
