New exhibits unveiled will include: BOLD, BLACK, & BEAUTIFUL Through vibrant colors, patterns, and textures, Justice Dwight and Lizzie Brown create portraits exploring the essence, identity, and intimacy of African American men, women, and children. STORIES LAYERED AND STITCHED Virginia McConnell’s portraits are inspired by her fascination with people in her community and the stories they carry with them. Collaged from hundreds of pieces of fabric, then assembled in the form of quilts, each piece tells a story! LITTLE WORLDS Laura Thompson extracts images from vintage magazines, plucking objects out of the contrived scenes of a bygone era and dropping them into other-worldly settings. Her work explores themes such as our relationships with others, animals, the planet, social justice issues, inclusion, and feminism. MAKING FRIENDS Virginia McConnell’s sculptures of children began as a reaction to society’s increasingly exaggerated polarization and intolerance. Searching for a source of agreement across diverse perspectives, she was drawn to the universality of children at play.
