Stephen Giannetti:
All In

December 13, 2024 -February 2, 2025
Reception: December 13, 6-9 PM
Artist Talk: January 18, 3-4:30 PM (FREE)

Stephen Giannetti has explored the grid and the circle in various media over his 30-year career. Early on, he pioneered a new approach to the grid. By painting three primary and three secondary colors in a pattern to define a set of circles, Giannetti created a visual experience where the act of seeing color is primary. Giannetti has adapted his method of painting by hand to using spray paint. Using poker chips as a stencil, he creates an active space where colors mix, and shapes shift in his paintings. During the pandemic, the artist began to use poker chips as the building blocks of sculptural forms. This exhibit includes his recent sculptures, which reference simplified geometric forms and repeated patterns.

The Stories & Traditions that Shape Us: Work by Filipino Artists

Stairway Display
December 6-29, 2024
Reception: December 13, 6-9 PM

With one work of art, how would you express your culture, your identity, or both? Through an artist call, we posed this question to Filipino artists in our community. Twenty-two artists responded with incredible submissions, and the following artists were selected to be featured in this community-driven show: Norman Aragones, Julie Bernadeth Crumb, Judy Catambay, Leigh Miller, Ezra Jade Moral, Nicole Paja, Deziree Seidner, and Drew Vallero.

These artists express their identity and culture through layered and diverse ways. Some reflect on personal memories or cherished family traditions, while others explore the interconnection of language, dress and identity. Despite differences in medium and subject matter, their works of art all speak to the significant stories and traditions that have shaped each artist’s journey. Together, their creations provide a powerful voice to the Filipino-American experience.
