2024 Past Exhibitions

The distillation of decades-long engagement of the artist with the impact of human beings on the natural world, Joseph Gregory Rossano: Portraits of the Divine is a compassionate tribute to nature. The exhibition features a selection of large-scale works from three of the artist’s ongoing series: At the Top of Her Lungs, Whitewashed, and Ivory. In each series, the artist invites the viewer to reflect on the divine oneness between humans and nature.

Internationally acclaimed for his compelling work with glass, William Morris has blazed a trail in the American Studio Glass Movement for his unique ability to imbue his sculptures with a sense of alluring mystery, suspended time, and ancestral oneness with the natural world. William Morris: Early Rituals presents a selection of works created by the artist from the mid-1980s to early 1990s—a time during which Morris experimented with innovative glassblowing techniques, ancient forms, and dazzling surfaces as he honed his poetic vision. These works are a prelude to the sculptural works of the following two decades which garnered him international acclaim as a glass artist.

William Morris: Early Rituals

June 22 - September 29, 2024

Silva Cascadia: Under the Spell of the Forest features two- and three-dimensional works by Northwest women artists inspired by forests and trees. From immersive environments to documentary portrayals, from lush expanses of innumerable, layered greens to individual black-and-white winter trees, each expression conveys the subtle, deep presence of these giant entities we often take for granted. With themes ranging from philosophical contemplation and history to the impacts of climate change and deforestation in our region and beyond, Silva Cascadia aims to provide contemplation, promote awareness, and inspire conversations.
