CURRENT EXHIBITIONS

Dream of Dawn by Griffin Liu

Opening: Saturday, May 16, 2026, 6 - 9 PM

Exhibitions run May 17 - June 28, 2026

Griffin Liu’s work explores themes of displacement, solitude, and the tension between institutional control and human agency through surreal miniature landscapes. Shaped by his family’s seven-year limbo as asylum seekers, his practice reflects the emotional weight of waiting—for decisions, responses, and permission to move forward. In these works, waiting becomes a condition of powerlessness under bureaucratic systems. Liu transforms that experience into scenes where reality and imagination merge, creating landscapes of poetic melancholy, psychological tension, and dreamlike stillness.

We all live with dreams by Jay Katelansky

Opening: Saturday, May 16, 2026, 6 - 9 PM

Exhibitions run May 17 - June 28, 2026

Jay Katelansky's art explores how Black bodies navigate safety in the United States. Their exhibition, We All Live With Dreams, poses the question of whose dreams we inhabit: our own or those inherited from our ancestors. This solo exhibition reflects on how we carry the hopes, sacrifices, and love of those who came before us as we navigate the milestones that shape our lives. The work celebrates the human inclination to dream of better futures while also honoring what we already have.
