Forces of Nature

August 6 – September 25, 2026

Fire, earth, air and water embody the tempests of our human experience such as floods, storms, the shakes of an earthquake or the fiery explosion of a volcano. Evident in these elements was their awesome and often frightening expression of upheaval. Yet these forces are also fundamental to survival: there would be no life without water, no atmosphere without air, no hearth without fire, and no nourishment without the bounty grown from fertile soil.

These forces of nature are the theme for the August and September show. Artwork that expresses the qualities and power of our planet’s natural forces.

Small Works

Red, White & Blue

July 2 – August 29, 2026 

Opening Reception on First Friday July 3 5-8pm

What do the colors red, white, and blue mean to you? Do they remind you of the founding of our country 250 years ago, patriotism, and the American flag? Or do they remind you of red Kites, blue skies, or white flowers?

Artwork: Laurie Beth Finkelstein

Beneath the Surface

September 3 – October 31, 2026

Submit artwork Sunday, August 30 11am-3pm

What do we do when we create art that probes beneath the surface? And what surface are talking about? The ground? The ocean? The furniture in our house? Our mind?  We might be thinking of what lies beneath the surface of someone’s words or actions.  Yes, they are smiling. But are they happy?

Artworks that express this engagement of the artist’s “surface” (canvas, photograph, artifact) with his or her dynamic world of impulse, imagination and dream. Our Small Works exhibits feature affordable art 12 inches or smaller.
