In the Age of Air and Fire
Exhibition dates: November 13, 2026-November 29, 2026
Opening Reception: Friday, November 13, 6-9 pm
Gallery talk: Saturday, November 28, 1:00-1:30
In early August of 2026, a rare and highly anticipated planetary alignment unfolded across the fire and air signs- a generational pivot point that seamlessly merged visionary ideals (Neptune in Aries), groundbreaking technological leaps (Uranus in Gemini), bold personal creativity (Jupiter in Leo), and the radical reshaping of social structures (Pluto in Aquarius). Inspired by this extraordinary celestial moment, artists Maddy Weisz and CeCe Wire conceived In the Age of Fire and Air, a joint exhibition of mixed media work that translates cosmic transformation into tangible visual form.
Working across layered textures, dynamic materials, and expressive forms, Weisz and Wire embody the dual energies of the alignment: the fiery drive of passion, courage, and creative ignition, paired with the airy intellect of breath, communication, and expansive thought. Their individual practices converge in a shared dialogue- one that examines how collective cosmic shifts echo within the personal, emotional and social landscapes of our contemporary world.
In the spirited warmth of the fire element and the open, communicative spirit of air, In the Age of Fire and Air is both an invitation and an activation. Weisz and Wire invite you to view, commune, enjoy, and evoke wonder in this threshold moment- a time of bold beginnings, reimagined possibilities, and collective awakening.

ERin Leeper’s Ethereal Icons
Portals of Grace
Exhibition dates: December 3, 2026-January 31, 2027
Public Opening Reception: Friday, December 11, 6-9 pm
Erin Leeper presents 40 upcycled doors with secular and non-secular saints.
My Ethereal Icons are joyful, contemporary versions of well known, traditional Holy Cards that portray Jesus, Mary, Angels and all the Saints, originally intended to inspire contemplation and give comfort through each one's specific attributes. My current body of work encompasses what I refer to as Secular Saints. All are Ethereal Icons! This exhibition showcases my humble Ethereal Icons as a love letter to my collectors. The series of secular saints elevates the value of everyday actions and celebrates the achievements and contributions by leaders of all types.
A Door, according to Google, can be used figuratively to represent a path, entry point, or chance (e.g. "opening doors to new opportunities"). Buildings have doors. Furniture has doors. Vehicles have doors. We might relate to popular idioms such as the phrases "next door" or "at death's door (near dying). Opting to utilize a door to create my Ethereal Icon is unique. The use of a door highlights the metaphorical potential of a doorway as a transition to a higher plane of understanding and compassion.

Good & Plenty - New works by Barbara Gilhooly & Ayn Hanna
Artist Talk: Friday, Dec 12, 7-9pm
Exhibition Runs: Nov 14 - Dec 28, 2025
Join us for the artist talk for Good & Plenty!
Good & Plenty brings together two artists united by a shared belief in abundance, joy, and the enduring power of what is good in the human spirit. This exhibition celebrates color, craft, and the pleasures of making.
The show takes its name from a large textile work whose palette echoes the nostalgic candy, but the title speaks to something larger: a philosophy of plenty over scarcity, optimism over cynicism, and beauty as a form of generosity.
One hundred small carved paintings on wood fill the gallery like a chorus of color and pattern, each piece a meditation in itself, together forming a joyful abundance. Alongside them, stitched textile wall works in various scales offer texture, warmth, and the evidence of countless hours spent with needle and thread.
Good & Plenty is an invitation to pause and remember that there is still room for lightness and wonder—a space filled with handmade beauty, nostalgic warmth, and the belief that love and goodness will always find a way to shine through.
