Artist Lecture with Kyle Seis and Eileen Rae Walsh: Friday, September 23, 7pm

This two person exhibition features the work of Kyle Seis and Eileen Rae Walsh. Join us as these artists embark on an exciting collaboration to create an entirely new body of work within the Union Art Gallery that is rooted in ideas of the sublime and cosmological phenomenon. Through the mystifying, atmospheric concept of weather, these artists will create a new collaborative installation that merges their shared interest in abstraction and the perceptual limitation of images.

These artists showcase their own autobiographies, while also examining the influences their family history had on them, through work in video and photography. Join us in this exploration of self, identity and family.

43rd Annual Juried Show Exhibition opening reception

Congratulations to Brennen Steines for winning Best in Show at the 43rd Annual Juried Show Exhibition!

Infinite Order

This solo exhibition presents the work of Keith Lemley. Lemley is known for his neon light installations that play with the idea of how we perceive the space around us. His work draws from a diverse range of sources including geometric theories underlying the order of the universe, rave culture, and the light and space movement of the 1960s.

For Infinite Order, the artist will transform the gallery by installing white LED tubes. The installation will use patterns and geometric structures of light to react to the existing architecture of the gallery and transform the viewer’s experience within the space. Please join us for this exciting exhibition! 

The show runs until February 26.

This event is free and open to the public.

Please join us THIS THURSDAY at 7pm with exhibiting artists from Inspired: The Power of Art and Faith for an open discussion panel.
