On December 5th, from 6-9pm, join us for First Friday! Enjoy these openings:
In the Harrison Gallery, the annual color themed show, The Golden Ticket. Presented by the Katharine B. Sutphin Foundation, The Golden Ticket brings together artists from across the region in a celebration of creativity, imagination, and possibility, united by inspiration in the form of the color gold.
In the Speck Gallery, Julia Zollman Wickes—I Am a Storyteller by Julia Zollman Wickes, a posthumous retrospective. Wickes’ paintings told stories, mostly about people—people she knew, might have noticed and wanted to think more about. She was interested in the gestures and expressions in private moments of thought, the inside moments.
In the City Gallery, PAST TENSE by Jingo M. de la Rosa. In Past Tense, memory takes the shape of a city transformed after loss. What was once ordinary becomes charged with memory, revealing fragments of what once was, and what it will be from now on. Despite the echoes of absence, new meanings emerge, and hope is renewed.
In the Hank & Dolly’s Gallery, Liminal by William Minion. This show features a series of large scale graphite drawings, often inspired by scriptures. Combining pencil realism with abstract and surreal elements, the series explores a new direction in Minion’s work.
Enjoy our annual Winter Window Walk around the perimeter of the building, featuring 22 unique displays showing off the theme of Folktales: Bringing Legends to Life. Don't forget to cast your vote after in the courtyard entrance to determine the popular vote winner!
Guests can also enjoy Open Studios all evening long, 3 Marias' authentic Tex-Mex across the courtyard, and the much-anticipated annual Winter Artisan Market in the gymnasium and Underground Gallery.
