Waiting for Palms: Peter Ydeen
June 9 - September 18, 2026
Opening Reception: June 18, 2026, 5:00 - 6:30 PM
Waiting for Palms is a series of urban landscape photographs taken in Morocco and Egypt, which explores where the quiet traces of tradition intersect with the turbulence of modern expansion. The images linger on the everyday, set within monumental landscapes and constructed from an accumulation of small, unheroic moments. Together, they form a tapestry of worlds that are immediate and enigmatic, intimate yet always elusive, creating an experience of perpetual interpretation.
Disturbing the Surface
Contemporary Printmaking by the American Color Print Society
October 1, 2026 - January 8, 2027
Opening Reception: October 15, 5:00 - 6:30 PM
Closing Reception: December 17, 5:00 - 6:30 PM
Printmaking has always been about touching the surface—scratching, carving, inking, or pressing to bring an image to life. Disturbing the Surface celebrates this spirit of transformation, showcasing work by members of the American Color Print Society. To create a print, each artist alters a surface—a metal plate, woodblock, lithographic stone, or digital file. This modification, once transferred to paper, results in a final work as varied in mood and meaning as the techniques and artists themselves. The exhibition spans traditional and contemporary approaches, from etching and lithography to cyanotype, risograph, digital printmaking, relief, and screenprint. Visitors will find everything from bold, graphic compositions to delicate, layered impressions—proof that printmaking remains a vital and endlessly adaptable art form.

Crackpot Realism is an artistic approach that dissolves the boundaries between art and life by emphasizing relationships between materials, ideas, emotions, and lived experience as the source of meaning and beauty. Rather than representing reality, the artwork exists as a real object in real space, inviting interaction between physical materials and mental associations. By combining traditional media with unconventional “non-art” materials such as tar, cement, wax, steel, and found objects, Crackpot Realism creates new forms that balance spontaneity and resistance, immediacy and labor. Assemblage, collage, and text function not as supplements but as integral elements, with written language operating visually and politically to allow works to be read on multiple levels. Through rhythm, pattern, and material presence governed by natural forces, Crackpot Realism constructs emotional and contemplative experiences that connect inner and outer worlds, offering a disorienting yet deeply felt abstract realism grounded in lived reality.
Earth & Sky: Thomas Murray

Opening Reception: July 11, 1:00 - 3:00 PM
Thomas Murray is a multidisciplinary artist originally from St. Petersburg, Florida. He earned his Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of New Mexico in 2004 and has since exhibited widely, earning recognition through numerous awards. At the heart of his practice is a recognition that our connections to one another—across distance, time, and space—are among the most meaningful aspects of life. Whether through color, form, or gesture, his work seeks to trace those moments of reaching, growing, and becoming.

“Painting people has always been my favorite subject. Through portraiture, I strive to reveal how a person’s behaviors, experiences, and spirit can be reflected visually. I work with a variety of media on wood, allowing the surface itself to influence the outcome. My process is both chaotic and calming. I merge memories with reference materials such as books and music, creating a dialogue between intuition and structure. The work unfolds through a cycle of adding and removing, I paint, scrape away, and then apply more paint, repeating this rhythm for hours. Once the image emerges, I refine it with a fine brush, delicately layering details to bring the portrait to life.”
