TATTERED
sara kaltwasser
Wednesday, May 27–Friday, June 26, 2026
sara kaltwasser’s work explores how American identity is shaped through history, symbolism, and education. Working across painting, collage, and fiber, she examines the ways nationalism, mythologized history, and constructions of power are introduced and reinforced through visual culture and systems of learning. By combining flags with lined notebook paper, she creates tension between inherited national narratives and the spaces where those narratives are first taught.
Her work is rooted in the fractures within these systems, what is preserved, what is omitted, and how collective memory is constructed. Ultimately, kaltwasser asks viewers to reconsider the stories they inherit and the role education plays in shaping how history is understood and remembered.
Neither Standing, Sitting or Lying Down:Christine Stiver
Wednesday, April 29–Friday, May 22, 2026
Stiver’s stick and paper sculptures appear to be caught mid-gesture, like a character in a freeze frame paused to punctuate the mood. Because the sculptures begin as green branches that are torqued nearly to the point of breaking, their forms remain energetic as they dry into a much more fragile state. Even the wall works feel as though they’re preparing to take flight. The animalistic qualities of the sculptures are heightened by their highly textured surfaces, and because of their various stances propping, leaning and perching on bi- and tri-pedal legs. The combination of natural and synthetic materials position the work in a perpetually mutable state between the built and natural worlds.
Don't Be A Stranger: Dominic Terlizzi
Wednesday, April 29–Friday, May 22, 2026
Dominic Terlizzi’s recent paintings echo ancient forms while interrupting their logic with contemporary interferences. Figures recline, rest or run along the tidy lines of a grid, a method informed by the construction of his three public monuments in Baltimore City. Terlizzi’s rigid-shaped figures simultaneously recall Pre-Columbian vessels, Byzantine mosaics and early video game characters, but these references are continually disrupted by the detritus of the every day. Cast acrylic objects float across the foreground alongside atmospheric orbs and highly rendered fruit. Terlizzi’s approach to image making creates constellations of meaning that prioritize free-association story-telling and non-linear narratives.
POWER Paula Phillips
Friday, April 3–Friday, April 24, 2026
A fine artist, educator and social justice advocate and activist, Paula specializes in mixed-media artworks that intertwine with and lift up the fundamentals of social justice while honoring and reflecting combinations of her European, Indigenous American and African roots. “Voice’, symbiotic and relational meaning hold integral values and are constant components found in Phillips’ work. Her art manifests through personal experiences and cultural and professional relationships, producing metaphorical, narrative-based mixed-media paintings.
Digital Divine Jo-El Lopez
Friday, April 3–Friday, April 24, 2026
Jo-El Lopez explores the relationship between technology, spirituality, and human consciousness. Through his paintings, he imagines a world where artificial intelligence is not just a tool, but a presence that reflects the rituals, beliefs, and myths that shape human life. In the Digital Divine series, Lopez transforms familiar digital assistants—voices like Siri and Alexa—into characters within a spiritual story. In this multiverse he calls The Sacred Algorithm, artificial intelligences develop their own beliefs, symbols, and rituals. Digital Divine represents a sacred space where these entities gather to worship their deities, reflecting humanity’s ongoing search for meaning, connection, and understanding of the unknown.
Before | During | Now
Friday, February 6–Friday, March 20, 2026
Before | During | Now is an exhibition that investigates how a global pandemic changed (or didn't) our life, world, and art. Each invited artist will have at least three pieces in the show: something they made before the COVID shutdown, something they made during lockdown, and something they made after/now. The observation of changing style, theme, materials, and more in the artwork will shed light on what shifted for these artists individually and make comment on what has transformed (or not) in our larger world.
Featuring: Schroeder Cherry, Heather Douglas, Allison Duggan, Denise Gantt, Nora Howell, Tiffany Jones, Sara Kaltwasser, Paula Phillips, Christine Stiver, Adam Thorman
