Hillyer

An Artist Talk with Paloma Vianey

Thursday, March 20, 6:15 p.m.
Free to the public ($10 suggested donation)

Join us for our monthly “Third Thursday” program where Paloma Vianey sheds light on misconceptions about her birthplace, Ciudad Juarez. Through her depiction of the city’s vernacular landscape, Vianey challenges the perception of Ciudad Juarez as a city of crime, presenting it instead as a vibrant and lived community.

Free to the public (a donation of $10 is suggested). Reservations are not required.


Studio Gallery

Third Thursday

Thursday, March 20, 5 to 6 p.m.

In our Upper Gallery, Studio Gallery is proud to present Entwined, a solo exhibition by Sabiha Iqbal. Through a series of imaginative figures, this exhibition explores the complexities of human emotion—joy and sorrow, hope and fear—revealing the universal struggle and resilience of the human spirit. Sabiha’s vibrant palette and dynamic compositions reflect the innate desire for hope and a brighter future, illuminating the light we seek even in the face of adversity. In our Lower Gallery, we are proud to present Lost and Found, a premier associates exhibition curated by Veronica Szalus. Featuring works by Bob Burgess, Jennifer Duncan, Pam Frederick, Al Lipton, Joan Mayfield, and Doug Fuller, this exhibition explores the transformative power of salvaged, found, and repurposed materials in art. Through innovative techniques and creative reinvention, Lost and Found highlights the beauty and potential hidden within the discarded, celebrating the artistry of renewal and transformation. In our Garden Gallery, we are delighted to showcase a collection of works created and curated by Lois Kampinsky. Through vibrant colors and rich textures, these pieces offer a dynamic exploration of nature, capturing its depth, form, and intricate layers. Bringing the beauty of the natural world to life, this collection invites viewers to reflect on the delicate interplay of color, light, and environment. You don’t want to miss experiencing these beautiful and versatile exhibitions. We hope to see you there!
