EXHIBITION

The artists of Between Times and Between Us generously offer tender, important, difficult, crucial, celebratory, universal, and honest works that bridge differences and extend connections. The works stem from subjective experiences yet invite the viewer to find their own resonances, without insisting on particular interpretations. In being both brave and vulnerable, the ten artists of the Between Times and Between Us cohort make the personal a communal experience.

Participating artists in this exhibit are: Davis Bashungwa, Nan Curtis, Jess Farrell, Joyln Fry, Diane Jacobs, Carter Kawena Kohler, Marne Lucas, Casper Mayberry, Trude Parkinson, and Gabby Serverson

There will be a closing artist roundtable discussion facilitated by Georgina Ruff, exhibition curator, on June 28, 2-4 pm.

This exhibition is generously supported by the Ford Family Foundation.
