"In Search of Hidden Meaning" gathers a group exhibition from local artists working with Islamic arts exploring our relationship and pathway toward God (Allah), and the meanings behind the month of Ramadan, fasting, Night of Destiny (Laylat al-Qadr), Eid Fitr, and. Many of the artworks include Islamic calligraphy. The calligraphy works highlight the power of the written word by inscribing it artistically with pens, ink, and other media. They emphasize a direct relationship between spirituality, art, and calligraphy.

This exhibition supports underrepresented Muslim artists and calligraphers and provides them with a platform to express their creative work. It helps the Muslim community to connect with their faith from different perspectives. It also offers an opportunity for the general public to see the beauties of Islamic art and explore Ramadan's message in various forms of art.
