SUMMARY:(Be)Longing
DESCRIPTION:Moving to a new country can be a daunting experience\, especially as an adult. You leave behind familiar language\, culture\, and customs\, and face the challenge of adapting to a new way of life. Yet\, alongside the pressure to assimilate is the desire to preserve your identity and traditions. How do you find balance and create your own path. For the artists featured in (Be) Longing\, they attempt to reconcile their two identities through art. \nThis exhibition features four Japanese-born artists who have immigrated to the United States and now call Arizona home. Through diverse materials from resin to clay to paint\, they explore the complexities of cultural identity\, nostalgia\, and belonging. Their works are contemporary\, yet deeply rooted in Japanese aesthetics\, drawing inspiration from folklore\, religious rituals\, Zen philosophy\, and historical art forms like Fusuma-e and Mingei craft. \nEach piece offers a personal narrative: a reflection on the tension between longing for home and finding one’s place in a new land. Together\, they present a multifaceted view of the Japanese immigrant experience—one that is as much about resilience and transformation as it is about memory and tradition. \nFeaturing artwork by: Kazuma Sambe\, Kaori Takamura\, Hirotsune Tashima\, and Yuko Yabuki \nOpening Reception\nSaturday\, February 21\, 2026 5-7pm \nRSVP

SUMMARY:Is There Wi-Fi in Heaven? Grieving in the Digital Age
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever sent a text message you knew would always go unanswered? Or visited a dead loved one’s social media profile just to reflect on them? You’re not alone. Is there Wi-Fi in Heaven: Grieving in the Digital Age explores how technology reshapes the ways we mourn and maintain bonds with the dead. As social media and digital tools transform our interactions with the living\, they also create new tools for how we grieve. Through works that consider online rituals\, digital memorials\, and the management of “digital remains\,” this exhibition reflects on emerging practices of public mourning\, continuing bonds\, and even pseudo-spiritual attempts to connect across the divide. In the networked age\, grief too\, is increasingly mediated through screens\, raising questions about permanence\, ritual\, and what it means to visit the dead when physical presence is no longer required. \nOpening Reception\nFriday\, March 27\, 6-8 pm \nRSVP

SUMMARY:Heirlooms: Dawn Kushner
DESCRIPTION:Emerging from craft and Appalachian history\, these laser-cut vellum doilies transform transgenerational loss into material form. The doilies incorporate archival photographs\, news articles\, and handwritten letters related to West Virginia’s extensive history of extractive industries. By burning and removing portions of the printed surface\, the work itself serves as a place of extraction. The remaining translucent\, fragmented forms become artifacts of mourning\, symbolizing what cannot be fully reconciled or restored. \nArtwork by Dawn Kushner \nOpening Reception\nFriday\, March 27\, 6-8 pm \nRSVP\n
