As we start to come out of this pandemic, we will do so carefully and awkwardly. Bruised and battered, we are attempting to get back on our feet again and mend the broken civility we once had. This exhibition is a reflection on the new awkwardnesses we have developed from being so isolated. It’s about the feeling of time, wasting away while you wait for something to end.

We value in-person art experiences and want to proceed safely. Due to covid19, we will be limiting the number of guests allowed in the gallery at one time. Masks will be required inside as well as common spaces outside the building. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. We are excited to see you again!
Special Note on our Gallery Openings: Due to current circumstances encircling the pandemic we are constantly re-evaluating what our in-person openings look like. Check out our Instagram account for our most recent information regarding openings. The safety of our members and our community is a top priority for us, so thank you for your flexibility.
