Upcoming Events for You
We hope to see you at our August events. We have fun outdoor events for young families, a professional development workshop for college students, a special two-part safety training experience, and more.
August 4 and August 6
Gallery Open House: SEE ME
"SEE ME" explores the artist’s play on one's identity. Michal Chelbin’s photography attempts to capture human stories in everyday life; the identities of people not in the mainstream, many of them belonging to the edge of society and existing in the space between the odd and the ordinary. Her main themes are not social or topical, but collective and mythical; she searches for people who have a legendary quality in them.
Curated by Matthew Garson.
