Celebrate Spring: Exhibition by Connie Lampen
Reception: May 4 | 3:00 - 5:00 PM
On view through May 29 | Details

“Painting is truly my passion. My quest is to place peace in each stroke of my brush. Blending abstract with reality, I strive to place movement plus a message of tranquility & comfort within the colors of each painting. I believe art is healing in many ways. Making a connection with a person’s heart and giving hope in our ever-changing world is my goal.”


Light As Air Exhibition at Metal Museum
On view through September 7 | Details

"The material properties of metals and our relationship to the physical world around us are in flux throughout this exhibition. Light as Air, curated in-house, showcases examples from a variety of scales, perspectives, and metalworking fields that appear to uplift, flutter, float, or hold air. Connections to Craft traditions appear throughout, with nods to traditions in weaving, sewing, printing and papermaking."
