As we navigate through the current Covid-19 situation, we feel confident that we can safely stay open to the public, despite the discouraging numbers. Our cleaning, distancing, and mask protocol, combined with the fact that the gallery has so few visitors on any given day, reassures us that we are meeting the health and safety needs of the community while also continuing to share new exhibitions in our physical space for those who would like to come see them.

CENTER and SOUTH GALLERY : Anthropocene | Invitational group exhibition curated by John Coyne
Anthropocene: the current geological age, viewed as the period during which human activity has been the dominant influence on climate and the environment. Extreme weather, dying oceans, extinction of species and novel viruses, this show explores the ramifications of our outsized impact on the natural world

NORTH GALLERY : If You Lived Here You'd Be Home By Now | Counsel Langley
If You Lived Here You'd be Home By Now is a scifi imagining of the raw, nascent beginnings of the epoch that will immediately follow the Anthropocene. A time of beauty and menace, thrills and mistakes, it is inherently hopeful in that it imagines a distant future in which we are not only still here, we have managed to work together as one–as the star stuff we all are.
I work right at the edge of abstraction, allowing drips, pours, flow and scatters to be both simply themselves and also represent natural elements–weather, water, clouds, smoke, atmosphere...And I use architects’ tools, templates and compasses to draw controlled lines, concentric circles, grids, repetitive dots, a mountain range of triangles...which reflect structures and infrastructures that we build.
