EXHIBITIONS & EVENTS

(L): “Crossing” by Jenny Judge; (R): “Shattered” by Eric Goldstein

String Theory

Jenny Judge and Eric Goldstein

August 27 – September 22
String Theory brings together two artists exploring connection, transition, and the unseen forces that shape our world. Judge’s drawings map emotional and physical landscapes between Canada and New Zealand, while Goldstein’s mixed-media works interpret the invisible vibrations of quantum string theory.
They invite reflection on how place, memory, and matter intertwine, linking the personal with the universal.

“Sheep Study 2” by Michal Tkachenko

Songs Of Deliverance

Michal Tkachenko

September 25 – November 10
ARTIST RECEPTION: Thursday, October 23, 6-8pm
Drawing inspiration from Psalms 23 and 139, Tkachenko’s paintings of sheep in pastoral landscapes act as powerful symbols of purity, vulnerability, loss, and hope, while the landscapes themselves root these ideas in cultural, political, and emotional terrains. Together, they form a visual narrative in Songs of Deliverance that speaks to the universal longing for rescue, belonging, and meaning.

(L): “Avianima II” by Pilar Mehlis (R): “Ferry Deck with Bench” by Gillian Richards

Into The Light

Pilar Mehlis & Gillian Richards

November 13 – January 5, 2026
ARTIST RECEPTION: Thursday, November 13, 6-8pm
In this shared exhibition,Gillian Richards and Pilar Mehlis offer two perspectives on illumination. Richards’ paintings offer the viewer to explore the illuminating light on the still corners of city life. Mehlis, follows the light across continents through instinct and memory. “Into the Light” becomes a metaphor for finding meaning in movement and stillness alike, for seeing not just with the eyes but with experience, reflection, and emotional truth.
