SUMMARY:June 2026 - "The Fabric of Life:  Art that Moves You"
DESCRIPTION:Wearable art comes to life when in motion. \n“Art that moves you” invites audiences to experience the energy of form in flux\, as artists present garments and accessories designed not only to be seen\, but worn\, moved in\, and lived in. \nThe Fabric of Life” is a celebration of garments that speak—stories stitched\, sculpted\, and shaped around the body. Each piece in the exhibit serves as a narrative vessel\, weaving cultural identity\, memory\, and imagination into material form. Whether crafted from reclaimed plastics or organic fibers\, the works confront issues of sustainability\, body politics\, and personal transformation. \nYou are encouraged to think outside the “pencil skirt”. Flashy whimsical clothing\, decorative hats\, colorful earrings\, kimonos\, embellished shoes/boots\, boas\, scarves\, masks… \nCoordinators: Geri Verble & Katie Thomas \nArtist Reception: Friday\, June 19\, 2026\, 5:00 – 6:30 pm

SUMMARY:September 2026 - "Vibrant Souls:  A Dia de los Muertos Celebration"
DESCRIPTION:Day of the Dead is typically celebrated on November 1 and 2\, coinciding with All Saints’ Day.  \nIt is filled with happiness and love as family members and friends of all ages come together to celebrate and honor the lives of those who have passed away. It is celebrated through storytelling\, music\, and dancing – believing that the spirits return to visit the living. \nAltars\, known as “ofrendas”\, are adorned with flowers\, food\, and items of the deceased to welcome their spirit. Marigolds are used to decorate altars and are believed to please the spirits. They also signify the beauty and fragility of life. \nAll forms of art representing this tradition: altars\, painted faces\, colorful flowers\, and painted skulls are an integral part of this celebration and will be on display during this exhibit.  \nCoordinators:  Geri Verble & Katie Thomas \nArtist Reception: Friday\, October 2\, 2026\, 5:00 – 6:30 pm
