We are excited to announce our second annual exhibition - Com·mu·ni·ty /kə’myoonədē/.
As the title suggests, we value the fellowship we share with others, a result of common attitudes and interests. Our goal as a collective is to reexamine our very human materialistic tendencies that are leading us down the path to climate catastrophe. By reusing materials which would otherwise wind up in landfills and our oceans, we are trying to raise awareness and work towards a solution, one little bit at a time, rather than contributing to the problem.
On view April 4th to 25th, 2026
