Laura Battle
Rise
March 2 – April 14, 2021

Jeffrey Schiff
DisInterRuptions
November 3 – December 15, 2021

Jeannie Motherwell
POUR. PUSH. LAYER.
September 1 – October 22, 2021
Jeannie Motherwell is amazed by the images and mysteries of creations—like the oceans and skies in changing weather, Hubble-type images of the universe, and her own physicality during the painting process. She seeks to capture space and the three-dimensional energy
Thomas Lyon Mills
The Catacombs
July 7 – August 18, 2021

Percy Fortini-Wright
Graffiti
January 6 – February 16, 2021
Deconstructing the notion that graffiti is not legitimate art, Percy Fortini-Wright plays with the illusion of classical painting but tags into it and roughs up the edges to inject a dualistic principle. A mathematically-inclined painter drawn to portraiture and anatomy, Read More...
Robert Lewis
Sculpture
November 4 – December 16, 2020
The art, archaeology and artifacts of past civilizations inspire Robert Lewis’s sculpture. Intrigued by the layering of visual information left by empires, cultures, and the whims of nature, he has traveled to experience these things in their full dimensions and
David Mann
Paintings
September 1 – October 28, 2020
David Mann is compelled by the question, "Can a painting communicate by virtue of its inherent phenomenon?" Fascinated with the poetry of scientific research and with the visual resonance and mystery of the intimately minute and the infinitely vast, he
Gwen Adler, Susan Cooper, David Joseph, John Manzi, David Zung
Through The Lens
July 1 – August 13, 2020

Frank Poor
Sculpture and Prints
May 1 – June 24, 2020

Tom Butter
Astir
November 6 – December 26, 2020
by Paul D’Agostino Tom Butter's artworks, no matter their variable mediums and dimensions, cease never to turn, spin and churn, ever aflux, ever astir. Structurally, visually and metaphorically, their operative modes and inherent mobilities—with regard, too, to pieces that might
