Ready for a night of art, exploration, conversation, and a little wow?

Join us on May 30 from 7–9 PM for the launch of our newest exhibitions—it’s worth showing up for!

Step into an imagined wildfire shelter and engage with the “Survival Architect” as Katie Kehoe reimagines resilience through art in Time is of the Essence (Gibbs Street Gallery, May 16-July 13).

See what happens when master ceramic artist—and VisArts Associate Artist and instructor—Xiaosheng Bi gets into questions of control and tension in Confrontation. Compromise. (Concourse Gallery, May 16-June 13).

Wander through Unforeseen, the bold, dystopian installation by Chris Combs and Ceci Cole McInturff (Common Ground Gallery, May 23-July 20). It’s more than an exhibition; it’s a conversation starter.

And don’t skip NextGen 12.0 (Kaplan Gallery, May 30-July 20)—our juried exhibition featuring the next wave of local creative talent, ages 17–27.

Plus, spend a little time with VisArts Associate Artist Dunnie Onasanya—coloring and cupcakes included (kid-approved, parent-friendly).

This isn’t just an opening night; it’s a chance to mingle with art fans and the “just checking it out”-ers, enjoy some snacks and sips, and experience an evening full of art, connection, and fun.

See you there!

The opening celebration is free and open to everyone. Please RSVP by adding a ticket to your cart and checking out—so we know you’ll be there.
