The First Friday of April (April 3rd) marked the debut of two exciting exhibitions presented side by side in the gallery! The exhibitions will be on view through May 31, 2026.

​

“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.​​

​​

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 - the works play off of each other, with ideas moving across mediums and styles.​

​

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