Violets'Artworks by Natalie StraitOctober 18–November 7 Free Entry
Natalie Strait examines the uncertainty of modern feminine existence through a queer, semi-autobiographic lens. VIOLETS' depicts moments of women lingering in space, navigating between emotional vulnerability and gendered performativity. It's a balancing act enforced by social media. As we experience the interiority of a pandemic, Strait's paintings are a poignant study of emotion, self awareness, and the perceptions of others. |

Thou Shalt/NotArtworks by Dain GoreOctober 18–November 7 Free Entry
THOU SHALT/NOT is an imaginary space that explores the middle ground between two very real concepts: religious control and secular freedom. Dain Gore has developed a personal mythology on the topic; narrating through a series of puppet-like wall paintings. Each work presents a thematic clash between secular and religious imagery, explored in tropes. You'll recognize familiar pop culture symbols that skillfully evoke ideas of social control. |

A Room of One's OwnArtworks by Jill FriedbergFebruary 14–March 8 Free Entry
For society to thrive, we must preserve our present planet—by working to maintain the delicate balance necessary for its success. Friedberg's paintings are evocative of her concern for the world's future: life contained in various rooms—filled with flora, fauna, and artifacts. She conveys her concern for future generations through depictions of humanity, and nature, symbiotically surviving forces wrought by both human, and non-human activity. |
