Art & Activism Now
This presentation will examine how protests, in their many forms, have been used by black artists and activists to impact museum culture. By examining what has and continues to catalyze protest and by looking at specific historical and contemporary examples of black protests in the arts, this presentation will recognize and deconstruct how protests can support the radical revisualization of blackness in museums and examine how these methods can be a model for activism now.

Maple Syrup Giveaway!

Maple Syrup Giveaway!
Maple Syrup Give AwayTonight! Visit the gallery tonight (6-8pm) and receive a FREE bottle of locally made maple syrup (while supplies last). And, don't miss the second to last day of the current exhibit Horizons-Transitions: Paintings and Drawings by Cathy Doocy. Her work, the representation of a “landscape”, is not the final goal. Instead, she uses the vernacular of landscape painting as a method for exploring composition and color. Cathy's work is about painting not landscape; about illusion not representation; about drawing, not twigs and branches. Come see this extraordinary exhibit!
