Exhibitions
Contemporary Porcelain: From Tradition to Innovation explores the enduring legacy of porcelain while showcasing the bold ways artists are redefining this historic material today. Long celebrated for its refinement, translucency, and technical precision, porcelain has deep roots in global traditions.
Elements of Mechanisms examines the intersection of form, function, and movement through works that draw inspiration from mechanical systems and engineered structures. Gears, joints, frameworks, and repeating components become visual language, revealing how complex systems are built from simple, intentional parts.
The Community Arts Spring Showcase honors the creativity, perspectives, and shared stories of our vibrant community. This season’s showcase also highlights an exciting partnership with Pimlico Elementary/Middle School and Sinai Hospital through an arts integration collaboration with a group of 7th graders participating in the Medical Detectives Program.
Gallery and Shop Hours Tuesday-Saturday, 10:00 am – 5:00 pm, Sunday-Monday, 12:00 – 5:00 pm
