FERRARA SHOWMAN GALLERY is pleased to announce the first solo exhibition of Seattle-based painter Becca Fuhrman entitled Tan Lines. On the heels of two previous, successful collaborations - an online exclusive in Summer 2025 and presentation at San Francisco Art Fair in April 2026 - this exhibition surveys ten new and recent works capturing the artist’s diversity of medium, subject matter, and motif.

True to Fuhrman’s distinctive visual language, Tan Lines explores the charged space between beauty and chaos, play, and provocation. Mixed-media paintings on canvas, wood panel, and sewn banners construct a world precariously teetering on the edge of revelry. Is the figure flailing or dancing? Are these hands moving to touch or pulling away? Playful upon first viewing, this body of work is seeded with peculiarity - upon further inspection, pushing and pulling perception and leaving fate to be determined only by the viewer.

The exhibition will be on view 27 May through 11 July 2026 with an opening reception on 6 June from 5-8 PM as part of the Arts District New Orleans’ First Saturday Gallery Openings.

FERRARA SHOWMAN GALLERY proudly hosts the 30th iteration of our annual call for artists: NO DEAD ARTISTS International Juried Exhibition of Contemporary Art. The call is open through 15 JUNE 2026 and the exhibition participants are selected by an ever-changing group of three prestigious arts professionals. The exhibition is installed in the gallery 16 September and remains on view through 17 October, with an opening reception in conjunction with the Arts District New Orleans’ First Saturday Gallery Openings on 3 October 2026 from 5-8 pm.

The exhibition has been a springboard for numerous artists; leading to national press coverage, recognition, gallery representation, art fair exhibition, and acquisitions by museums and other prominent collections. Each year the gallery invites a panel of renowned arts professionals and collectors to select the newest creative talents from around the world AND as the GRAND PRIZE, one jury-winning artist is awarded a solo exhibition at FERRARA SHOWMAN GALLERY to take place the following year.

FERRARA SHOWMAN GALLERY is proud to present Offerings, the first solo exhibition in twenty-three years of New Orleans-based artist and gallery co-owner, Jonathan Ferrara. For his gallery return, Ferrara unveils over thirty new wall-mounted sculptures – returning to and reclaiming his artist-self and creative process. This suite of sculpture was catalyzed by his installation Offerings, which was debuted in the exhibition This City Holds Us -Twenty Years After Hurricane Katrina at Fidelity Bank White Linen Night 2025. Subsequently, the artist experimented with the arrangement of multiple sets of the individual hands, at various scales, articulating patterns and orientations which convey message and meaning. These compositions symbolize and embody the various modes of human connection. Ferrara’s intention is that of a universal relatability, presenting the viewer with the freedom to contemplate and interpret the works whilst seeing themselves within it. These works are his Offerings.

The exhibition will be on view 27 May through 11 July 2026 with a collector preview on Thursday 4 June from 5:30 – 7:30pm and a public opening reception on 6 June from 5-8 PM as part of the Arts District New Orleans’ First Saturday Gallery Openings.
