Committed to the enrichment of our community through the arts for the past thirty years…

Cross the threshold into Pathways and Portals, a new exhibition open now…

"There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors of perception," -Aldous Huxley

An exhibition that explores exploring the in-between spaces—transitions, passageways, and the quiet moments that guide us from one place to another. Through paintings, textiles, and sculpture, regional artists reflect on the journeys we take—both visible and invisible.
