Current Exhibition:
We are excited to present the exhibition, All but the Artist Rest: An Exploration of Figurative Painting. This show features over 30 paintings and works on paper which depict the public engaging in moments of leisure. These works encapsulate such feelings of joy, play, and pleasure that it is easy to forget that the artist was hard at work. The show is viewable online and in the gallery March 14 - April 25, 2020.
