Join us for the closing reception for two exhibits: "soul / less" and "Clay & Color: Red Planet Resonance," on Friday, February 27, 5-7 pm. Admission is free and all are welcome. Wine and refreshments will be served.

soul / less: an Exhibit by Nate Olin

"soul/less" juxtaposes work from several of Nate Olin’s series from the last decade or so. In reverse chronological order: soul/less, the seven panel “piece;” the witch scrolls; the ongoing rag paintings and 21st century Caprichos drawings; freak show; the ongoing icon encaustic series; and unicorn hunt. Each series differs in subject and medium, you might say style.

Clay & Color: Red Planet Resonance

Clay & Color: Red Planet Resonance is an intimate exhibition that brings together 16 ceramic artists from across the country to explore the deep connections between clay, memory, and the cosmos. At its core, the exhibition considers clay as both material and metaphor: a quiet listener shaped by water, heat, pressure, and time. Like the scarred surface of Mars, clay remembers the marks of all it has encountered, recording histories in layers, fissures, and textures that invite close looking and reflection.

​​Clay becomes a vessel for memory, curiosity, and wonder, holding traces of both personal and planetary histories. Each artist engages this material as a means of translating lived experience into form, allowing intimate recollections to surface through color, depth, and touch.

Explore a shared longing to understand our place in the universe—to touch both the familiar earth beneath our feet and the vast, unknown cosmos beyond. Linger, imagine, and listen to the stories embedded in clay.
