CARLIE SHERRY: THE SECRET GARDEN
Opening Reception: Thursday February 28 • 6-8 pm
The Secret Garden is a personal account of an all too common yet painful narrative of the female experience. Just like a garden, female bodies have the ability to produce growth and endure loss, source pleasure and inflict pain, as well as create life and induce death. Through this installation, New York artist Carlie Sherry shares her story with the hope of empowering women to talk about this subject as it is often dealt with in secrecy, to have no more secrets in this garden.

CONTRAST: DIVERGENT ENCOUNTERS WITH RACISM
a collaborative educational exhibition between Ophelia Chambliss and Matthew Apol.
Opening Reception: Thursday, May 2 • 6-8 pm
Contrast is a visual representation of parallel experiences of race and racism across divergent perspectives of age and ethnicity. The function of the exhibition is to highlight, describe, and elaborate on the significant events regarding the differences and similarities in the ways that each artist has encountered and experienced racial tension over the course of their lives. Ophelia Chambliss is a female African American artist born in Chicago, Illinois. Matthew Apol is a male Caucasian American artist born in Michel, South Dakota. With nearly 25 years between them, different ethnicity and geographic location has led Chambliss and Apol through two very different experiences regarding discrimination. Contrast offers viewers the opportunity to compare these experiences side by side and in contrast to each other. To explore the perspective of two very different individuals while examining a very non-individual system of manipulation.
July 1 – August 10, 2019
