February 27 - April 4, 2026
Center Gallery
Epoch
A solo show from Joy Kloman
Front Gallery
Grounded
A solo show from Michael F. McDonald
Opening Reception: March 5 from 6-8 pm; Closing Reception: April 2 from 6-8 pm
Joy Kloman is a prolific painter whose work is “an exploration of temporality.” Epoch shows us her connection to the visual archives of time passed and times past. The layers of lush greenery offer a dialogue with the writings of ecopoets like Whitman, allowing Kloman to effectively capture quiet moments that allude to “our short-lived, yet infinite time on earth.”
Michael F. McDonald is a ceramicist who found his way back to the artform during the pandemic after a 30-year hiatus. Grounded is more than a reflection of the earthen medium; in McDonald’s hands, the clay blossoms into a celebration of the now, a symbol of balance found in “the sacred space of creating,” and a product of a life lived unrepressed.
