From the Garden, From the Grave August 22nd, 2024 - November 10th, 2024
Featuring work from Kelly Jean Conroy, Carin Jones and Meghan Schmiedel, this exhibition addresses the dichotomy of life and death.
Can death be beautiful? Challenging the notion that death can only be melancholy and not something exquisite, the work in this show will include imagery of plant life and animals in all stages. On one hand, we have blossoming flowers, birds flying and lively insects. And on the other, we have the macabre, with imagery that confronts death. The aim is to illustrate how multi-faceted death is. It can be poetic, even sublime.

May 30th, 2024 - August 18th, 2024
This exhibition features work from Elisa Bongfeldt, So Young Park, and Emily Rogstad. Each artists' creative practice involves repetition, a deliberately labor-intensive process where smaller elements of each design are made over and over again by hand to build a larger, unified piece. Obviously time consuming, this exhibition aims to highlight and celebrate the incredible craftsmanship each artist boasts. Click here to view the exhibition. |

The Strength It Takes To Be Alone April 4, 2024 - May 26, 2024 Reception: April 12, 4pm - 7pm
At the core of Yong Joo Kim’s sculptural art practice lies her unique method of applying pressure and weight to her chosen material. This technique not only visualizes the invisible sense of pressure and weight she feels, but also becomes a transformative method of creation, shaping forms that are unpredictable even to her, thus truly creative.
Just as mountains and valleys are residues of nature under pressure and weight, the exhibition showcases works of art that are residues of an artist under pressure and weight. Through the understated beauty of their final form, the work presented also celebrates the often neglected beauty found in the efforts we all make to persevere despite the struggles we experience in our lives. In the embrace of her art, Yong Joo Kim wishes us all to find solace, personal connection, and inspiration, reminding us that, in the face of challenges, we are never truly alone.

Uncommon Threads is an exhibition featuring work from Gilly Langton, Brooke Marks-Swanson and Myung Urso. Each artist transforms and reinvents fabric to create one-of-a-kind, wearable artworks. And in doing so, quite literally weaves the history of textiles and fiber arts into contemporary art jewelry. All three artists are renowned for their craftsmanship, and have their work in numerous museums around the world.
Join us for the reception on March 28th in our River North gallery to celebrate the exhibition! This is a fabulous opportunity to meet the artists behind the work and enjoy light refreshments.
