Upcoming Exhibits

Robert Ortbal combines a vast array of both common and odd materials, applying them in endless variations to create small-scale, uniquely masked figures, traveling-case environments that house them, and wearable sculptures that are, at times, worn outside the gallery environment in performative public works. For Encounters, a 20-foot towering sculpture made from electrical conduit soars up into the clerestory and snakes along the gallery floor, displaying an assortment of his wearable works.

This exhibit is sponsored by Kimberly Ohlson & Allen Barnes

A New Spin on Vinyl showcases the artistry of regional artists who alter and incorporate vinyl records as a creative material into their artwork. The annual exhibit, which began in 2018, was first dedicated to Russ Solomon, the founder of the world-renowned Tower Records. The Pence exhibit includes many returning artists, a selection of award-winning community college students, and several new artists, who bring inventive adaptations of vinyl, paint, and interactive elements into their two-dimensional and three-dimensional work. 

This exhibit is curated by Dwight Head, Barbetta Lockart, and Cynthia Lou.

Raquel Cox is an oil painter whose recent work celebrates the beauty of nature and the way it lifts the human spirit. Painting mainly from life, Raquel portrays a wide variety of subjects but is particularly fascinated with observing the structure, delicacy, vibrancy, and impermanence of flowers. She views her work as a delicate balance between portraying nature truthfully and trying to capture the beauty and poetry that she finds in each subject. 

This exhibit is sponsored by Jim & Sue Smith and Tereza Joy Kramer.
