Coming Soon to Gallery 1516! Our new exhibition "Generation" features three generations of artists from one family: Mark Peiser, Watie White, and Calista White.

Save the date for the Public Opening on Friday, June 5th from 6-8pm.

These artists have never shown together before, yet there are many through lines that connect their distinct artistic styles. All three share a common interest in the lived human experience, and what it means to be a creature that feels, acts, and interacts with others.
