Reyna Ramirez’s Some Place Only We Know explores the enigmatic relation between people to objects, objects to memories, memories to place, and place to people. Ramirez uses the intersections between painting and sculpture to search for comfort in the in-between and unravel what that space consists of. In-between places, inbetween people, in-between experiences, and in-between cultures. This exhibition invites viewers to seek the dimensions of self that define us in relation to our surrounding environment and challenge the abstract notions of identity and place.

This thought-provoking exhibition delves into the profound human experiences surrounding immigration to America. Through the lens of artist Adrian Aguirre, viewers are invited to explore the juxtaposition between the aspirations of those seeking a better life and the formidable barriers obstructing their path. This exhibition invites viewers to contemplate the complexities of immigration and the human stories behind the headlines, urging us to confront the barriers and injustices faced by those striving for a better future in America.

Flowers for the Living – 2022
August 31 – October 11, 2024
Opening Reception: August 31^st, 6-8pm

Antonio Lechuga’s Flowers for the Living – 2022 is an exhibition in which healing is the focus. Antonio takes cobijas (fleece blankets) found in most Mexican-American and Latinx households and uses them to offer a space for comfort, grief and for care.

For this project, 647 fleece flowers of differing sizes, shapes and colors are extracted from these blankets and sewn together to create a large, expansive, almost infinite bouquet of flowers with each one representing a family of each victim who died from mass shootings that occurred during the year of 2022. This work becomes a visual marker, a representation of the severity and the magnitude of this ongoing tragedy and the weight of the toll of just one year of mass shootings here in this country.

This bouquet of flowers will never die, wilt, or lose its shape or color. This exhibition will always aim to build community, provide warmth, and offer a space for grieving and healing.

Shared Stories
August 31 – October 11, 2024
Opening Reception: August 31^st, 6-8pm

Shared Stories is an exhibition that explores life and a common journey of change, growth and search for happiness through migration. The Hispanic heritage of the artist Romulo Martinez and his own personal story as well as others influence the narrative around stages of our life, leaving that space we have always known to explore and search for a life in a new one where we take on a battle with ourselves, culture, work, memories and new discoveries to find our place, our joy and a common ground to share and feel like home.
