Events

Curated by Wilfredo Valladares, Puntadas Invisibles (Invisible Stitches) brings together five artists—Fabiola Alvarez Yurcisin, Gerardo Camargo, Glory Paredes, Irene Clouthier, and Sandra Pérez-Ramos—to explore migration, displacement, and the unseen connections shaping identity across borders.

Through diverse mediums, the exhibition reveals how heritage and movement intertwine, inviting viewers to consider their own ties to migration and belonging. These invisible stitches remind us that identity is never fixed but continuously woven, unraveled, and re-stitched anew.

Appalachian Fall showcases the evocative works of Jack McMichael (Michael) Martin, an Appalachian artist whose drawings and poetry capture the essence of life in the mountains from 1968 to 1998. This exhibition pairs framed drawings with deeply personal poetry, offering an intimate look at the rugged beauty and daily struggles of mountain life. Accompanied by an original soundtrack by Alex Martin, Appalachian Fall immerses visitors in the sounds and visuals that shaped Martin’s artistic journey, transporting them to a place where time moves slowly, but every detail of life is deeply felt.

Musical instruments have helped us communicate and express ourselves since the dawn of human culture. Learning about the musical instruments of the ancient Americas and building and playing our own unique instruments helps us to awaken the memory of our connection to nature, cultivate presence through working with clay, and experience joy through sound and music-making. In this hands-on workshop we will learn about ceramic musical instruments that have been made across Central and South America for thousands of years and learn to build and tune our own working clay flutes. Guided by the expert instruction of teaching artist, Melissa Hyatt Foss, you’ll learn about the history and significance of these ancient instruments! All materials, supplies and firing are included. No previous experience with clay, instruments, or music is needed!
