HONORING WOMEN
For the first exhibit of 2026, we asked artists to create works that honor and celebrate women. They could be famous or historical figures, local heroes, or unnamed women known only to you. We hope this exhibit will show our gratitude to women for their impact on the world, or even on our own personal lives.
Exhibit Dates:
February 5 – March 21, 2026
Opening Reception:
Friday, February 6, 5 – 7 pm
