Current Exhibit: Material Girl

Friday, June 6, 5 pm - Sunday, July 20, 5 pm

Curated by Lisa Corinne Davis, Material Girl brings together a dynamic group of multigenerational, self-identifying women artists from diverse backgrounds, all united by a shared fascination with the materiality of paint. These artists don’t simply apply pigment—they puncture, weave, incise, and drag it across the surface, pushing the boundaries of traditional painting. Their tactile approaches transform the canvas into an immersive visual field, inviting viewers to explore the richly worked surfaces and distinct voices of each artist. At its core, the exhibition celebrates the physical and sensory power of paint while amplifying vital female perspectives and fostering meaningful intergenerational dialogue in contemporary art.
