CURRENT EXHIBIT:
Self Portrait As...

What Makes You, you?

This exhibition sought to encourage artists to depict themselves – not simply in traditional portraits, but in the menagerie of styles, experiences, places, and people that have contributed to their sense of self.

From abstract works to ceramics, liminal space photography to quilts, printmaking, oil paints, and beyond, this exhibition creates a fabric of self expression through which artists and gallery visitors can come together to better understand each other. Plan to spend some time combing through the 100+ works and statements on display in this vibrant show!
