We're counting down the days until we open our next exhibits!
"Biology Rising: Origins of Hope" is a solo exhibit of works by Julie Anderson Bailey combining traditional techniques in new ways to create nature-framed objects and installations echoing how life begins and sustains us. Alongside it, we also present four other amazing exhibits with a variety of subjects and mediums.

Opening Reception: May 29th from 4pm-7pm (Remarks at 5:30pm)
Exhibit Dates: May 29th - August 15th

This is a FREE Open House event with light bites and a chance to meet the artists.

"When we look closely at the world around us, the connections woven through nature reveal why we love the living world and our affinity for life in all forms. Encouraged by the delicate dance of life emerging from the sea, the freshwater, and below and above ground, these installations are a visual exploration of earth's lifecycle and the profound connections between humans, nature, and our evolving relationship with the environment."
Julie Anderson
