Experience a captivating exploration of artistic expression at the combination of two major exhibitions: "Rosetta: Animal Artistry - A 40-Year Journey" and "Clay Prints by Chris Wanner." Running from June 27 through September 20 in the Main Gallery, Rosetta's exhibition showcases her pioneering sculptures inspired by her lifelong love of animals, blending hard edges with fluid forms to reflect the grace and spirit of wildlife. Known for her unique minimalism, Rosetta’s work balances abstraction and representation, allowing collectors to appreciate the essence of her subjects with subtle yet powerful lines.
Complementing this is Chris Wanner's "Clay Prints," presented from June 13 to October 11, highlighting his innovative fusion of 2D and 3D media including drawings, comic books, pottery, and figurative sculptures. Wanner's creations, drawing inspiration from his childhood fascination with comic strips, tell original stories that embody rich themes and expressiveness.
Additionally, from May 9 to September 13, visitors can view Gary Emrich's "Firewater Suite" in the Mezzanine Gallery, which challenges traditional narratives of the American West through a playful juxtaposition of vintage liquor decanters and contemporary water bottle labels. Together, these exhibitions invite viewers to engage with diverse artistic journeys that blend visual art, storytelling, and cultural commentary. Special events include a Poetry Reading on July 11, guided Tours by Rosetta on July 17 and August 30, and a Wild Animal Sanctuary Program on July 19.
