🚨 This is the last week to see our fall exhibitions before they close on Saturday, January 21!

’s exhibition is a three-channel film installation that asks how the scream, moan, and melisma—also known as the vocal run— provide a sonic route toward Black environmentalism.

"Chloë Bass | : Hindsight for a Future America" includes photography and text-based art plus a public sculpture coming later this year, which culminates ’s ongoing project, , for which she captured images of cloudless blue skies in an effort to mark time in the lead up to the 2016 US presidential election.

"Thaddeus Mosley: Forest" is a display of five (5) incredible wood sculptures in which by only 'using a mallet, chisel, and masterful joinery techniques, Mosley, largely self-taught, reworks felled timber from local sawmills into monumental biomorphic expressions inspired by ancient and modern cultures from around the world,' as noted on our website.
