Curated Exhibitions
Imagined
Artists who work from the imagination often navigate a rich terrain of ideas, emotions, and subconscious impulses. Imagined (2019) brings together the work of fifteen artists whose practices emerge from this fertile inner landscape. Spanning diverse subjects and approaches, each artist draws upon the depths of imagination to reveal unique perspectives and evolving creative journeys. Collectively, the exhibition offers a compelling meditation on the world around us, inviting viewers to see beyond the familiar and engage with new ways of thinking, feeling, and perceiving.

A Sense of Wonder
A Sense of Wonder (2019) invites viewers to discover a sense of wonder about the curiosities that exist in front of us. The artists presented in this exhibition move us beyond the everyday in thought-provoking ways, whether it is such as viewing an ordinary urban backyard with childwith a renewed sense of awe; contemplating the vastness of space; observing nature on a grand scale or in miniature detail; transforming nature's objects into playful expressions; whimsical interpretations of special events in our lives; impressions of augmented reality; the creation of fantastical creatures; illuminating the effects of make-believe and art-making on children; or simply portraying the ocean’s gifts that are washed onto land.
By viewing the world with a renewed sense of wonder, a simple fascination with the things that already exist can birth new life.
