As part of our support for emerging artists, we have several abridged exhibitions scheduled. These short run shows offer accessible gallery space for MFA Thesis shows.

 

Linear Expressions by Tyler Bischoff explores the craftsmanship of ceramics.

“My ceramics draw inspiration from the distinctive architectural styles and craftsmanship found in Western New York, particularly the unique character of its historic homes and buildings. By incorporating elements of local design—such as the intricate detailing of Arts and Crafts furniture and the bold lines of mid-century architecture—I create pieces that resonate with the region’s rich cultural tapestry. Each work reflects a dialogue between form and function, celebrating the beauty of everyday objects rooted in the heritage of Western New York.”

 There is a free opening reception Friday, November 1, 6PM-8PM.  Additional viewing is available during regular gallery hours, October 30-November 1.

Second Spring: Paintings by Sarah Field Sonnenberg and Anna Rubino on view beginning November 7              

    “Second Spring” features the work of Sarah Field Sonnenberg and Anna Rubino, two artists exploring the transformative power of women and nature. Rubino’s dreamlike portraits celebrate the strength and courage of women who embrace life’s transitions, while Sonnenberg’s double-exposure-inspired paintings merge floral imagery with women’s faces, reflecting the transient beauty of both. Together, their work highlights the continuous growth and resilience found in life’s unfolding moments. 

 There is a free opening reception Thursday, November 7, 6PM-8PM.  Additional viewing is available during regular gallery hours.
