CURRENT, UPCOMING & PAST EXHIBITIONS
COMING: The Faces and Facets of Freedom at the Oxford Gallery
Invitational group exhibit at The Oxford Gallery. 2026 marks our nation’s Semiquincentennial: its 250th anniversary. This exhibit invites artists to express the theme of freedom and the inspiration of Frederick Douglass…”Douglass understood that personal freedom has many faces, including the right to self-respect, the right to speak against all firms of human indignation, and the right to pursue knowledge. In perhaps its broadest definition, it is the freedom to leave what we take for granted – custom - and embark upon something new. Freedom thus requires, above all, courage: the courage to change, to undertake new ways and to explore new ideas.”

International Encaustic Artists "Ephemera" at EOM, Ireland
https://www.essenceofmulranny.com/
Ephemeral/Ephemera will showcase works on paper that illuminate the concept of the ephemeral from an artist's perspective, using wax as a primary medium. We invite national and international artists to consider how we experience ephemerality. Dreams, memories, chance encounters, nature, time, seasons, and even the nature of wax and paper itself are potential areas of exploration. What do we wish to hold on to, and what do we wish to let go of?
