Come say hello in person!
Hardly Softer
Ceramics and textiles are often relegated to the realms of maker fairs and hobby clubs. But how might the nuances of curation and contextual clues influence our perception of these mediums? Through a playful blend of surreal household items and abstract creations, artists Amy Lange, Jenna Melnyk, Philippa Renshaw, and Joanne Wang challenge the assumed domesticity of their favorite mediums. ‘Hardly Softer’ asks the viewer to step into a world where form and function are fluid, inviting a reconsideration of the traditional roles these materials play in our lives.
Family Affair
There are many things we inherit from our families. In mine, creativity was emphasized as a core value and skillset. Growing up, I was surrounded by relatives who were all exploring different mediums. I sat wide eyed as artists, musicians, and writers sat around our family table discussing their passions. I’ve often wondered if creativity is a trait that runs in other families too. “Family Affair” is about connecting these intergenerational threads of expression. During the open call, artists are invited to submit one piece that is riffing off of something made by a relative. New original works will be displayed side by side with the work that inspired them. It is up to each artist to interpret what this means to them. It could be as abstract as a feeling or a literal as a color.

Quarantined: A Virtual Pop-up Art Exhibit
The exhibition QUARANTINED is about the ways in which artists deploy art to explore their roles as social actors in times of isolation. Borrowed from Italian 'quaranta giorni,' literally 'space of forty days,' — period a ship suspected of carrying disease is kept in isolation, the title contemplates the potential of art and offers a provocation to the public to exert their own social influence in the rapidly changing world.
