On February 6th, from 6-9pm, join us for First Friday! Enjoy these openings:
In the Harrison Gallery, Forgotten Graces by Kevin West. This contemplative show reflects on the quiet, overlooked moments of childhood and ordinary moments that later reveal themselves as meaningful gifts. Through light and tenderness, West explores memories of play, routine, and unspoken care that shaped a sense of belonging.
In the Gallery Annex, Letter In Blue by India Cruse-Griffin. This series explores the color blue through forty seven handwritten letters sent from her father to her mother during his military service in the 1950s. Though the meaning of the color to him is unknown, blue came to represent a piece of himself sent home, carrying love and connection across distance.
In the Speck Gallery, Call Me EMO by Caleb Keitt. With this show, Keitt debuts his personal brand, character, and pseudonym EMO the Ctrlr, shaped by years of work in graphic design and branding as storytelling. The exhibition explores Black culture, nostalgia, and identity through shared personal observations. Works include paintings, textile banners, silk printed posters, and wearable apparel.
In the City Gallery, Stats and Them by William Minion. Minion works with unnamed faces depicted in graphite on cotton paper, exploring themes of dehumanization that often occur in the culture of cities and urban areas.
In the Hank & Dolly’s Gallery, Through The Lens by Quintin Griffin. This photography exhibition invites viewers to reconsider both familiar and unfamiliar sights. Through everyday scenes, the work shifts perception and encourages reflection on the spaces we inhabit daily.
Guests can also enjoy performances by Kenyetta Dance Company in the historic gymnasium from 6:15-9:00pm, and grab a bite across the courtyard from IndiTaco food truck for authentic Indian-Mexican cuisine.
