The First Friday of April (April 3rd) marks the debut of two exciting exhibitions presented side by side in the gallery! We will open at noon and the gallery will be buzzing in the evening from 6-8PM.

 

Please join us for the Artist Reception on Saturday, April 11th from 4-6PM.

​

“The Anatomy of Wonder: Photo Sculptures by Michael Garlington” invites visitors into the imaginative world of the renowned Burning Man artist, whose work blends photography with sculptural installation. Visitors enter the gallery through his striking photographic “temple,” stepping into a surreal landscape of layered imagery, symbolism, and wonder.

​

On April 18th from 4-6PM we will host a special artist talk and portrait shoot with Michael. Details coming soon!

​​

In parallel, “Rochambeau” is a dynamic exhibition bringing together photography, painting, ceramics, and kinetic sculpture by eight extraordinary artists –

 

Laura Engdahl, Sara Friedlander, Frans Lanting, Mattie Leeds, Joel Leivick, Cheryl Moreno, Moto Ohtake, and Anne Sconberg.

 

Inspired by the spirit of the game itself, the works engage in a playful visual relay – each gesture answering another across mediums, ideas, and materials in an evolving dialogue of chance, response, and transformation.

​

Presented in partnership with the Center for Photographic Art and the PhotoCarmel Biennial, the exhibitions arrive just ahead of the Ripple Effect Arts Festival (April 16–26), celebrating the interconnected energy of artists and communities throughout Santa Cruz County and the Central Coast.
