๐™Ž๐™ค๐™›๐™ฉ, ๐™Ž๐™ฉ๐™š๐™–๐™™๐™ฎ, ๐™Ž๐™ช๐™ง๐™š is a group exhibition featuring paintings, photographs, and prints that invite us to reflect on how care is extendedโ€”toward ourselves, our communities, and the earth. In a time marked by censorship and violence against vulnerable communities and ecosystems, acts of compassionโ€”expressed through attention, presence, and considerationโ€”become forms of resistance.

The works in this exhibition highlight the importance of conserving and sharing language, memory and story. They explore what we might learn from others, including human and non-human relatives, through gestures that are deliberate, tender, and enduring.

Artists Isa Estrada, Gidinaty Hartman, Will Raymond, and Tasunka Opi (Wounded Horse) aka Michael Kurtz, offer thoughtful reflections on what it looks like to move through the world with softness, steadiness, and certainty.

Fruit Stand

From Savannah Canavan

Exhibit Dates: June 4 - August 9, 2025

Gallery Sponsor: UMR, a United Healthcare Company

Itโ€™s easy to get caught up in the idea that art must โ€œmean somethingโ€. That it is only important if there is some deep, philosophical meaning behind it. As someone who went to four years of art school, it was incredibly hard to unlearn this mindset. I focused so much on trying to assign a meaning to my work for years that I didnโ€™t even always enjoy painting because I felt like an impostor since I didnโ€™t have an answer to the question โ€œwhat does it meanโ€. 

My paintings are an eclectic collection, bold in color and marks. Yet they are still full of meaning. They are full of experiences. It is every moment of a painting, the intimate familiarity in both creation and perception, that make it important.


Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude

From Robert Martin

Exhibit Dates: March 26 - May 23, 2025

Revisiting rural the landscape they grew up in, Robert Martin, imagines queer futures while honoring a rooted past. 

The figurative work I create is a layered combination of rural aesthetics, queer historical references, inherited ephemera, personal imagery, and memory. Art-making โ€“ namely painting โ€“ allows me to tangibly imagine queer futures while honoring a rooted past by permitting these stories to coexist within one plane. As I ruminate on the interplay of these employed elements, I am cementing histories and generating utopias.


Portals, Planets, and Petri Dishes

From Angela Piehl

Exhibit Dates: January 8 - March 15, 2025

Angela Piehl's collage-based prints and drawings evoke a range of possibilities. Piehl explores the medium of collage and its aesthetic as a metaphorical parallel to the process of composting-- a natural recycling of matter in which a prolific range of transformations occur. Dense spherical compositions hover like planets, or alternately, mimic microscopic views held within the ecosystem of a petri dish.
