Five Years
The images and objects in this exhibition reflect experiences from the five years following the passing of Olga Hubard's partner. Some were everyday moments; others felt momentous. Some involved external events; others unfolded internally. Bringing these experiences together in physical form has helped Olga take stock of all that the last five years have carried--and to look ahead from here.
Emotional Liminality
Emotional Liminality focuses on emotional and psychological spaces shaped by change, memory, duality, love, care, and control, where identity and memory remain in process rather than resolving into fixed form. Rather than treating liminality as a passage from one state to another, it is understood as an ongoing condition—one that can be difficult to inhabit culturally and psychologically in a world oriented toward clarity, productivity, and arrival. Through this lens, the work makes central the contradictions inherent to change and pushes the idea of fixed forms to the periphery.
Myers Prize Exhibition - Intervene (Interconnectedness)
This annual exhibition features artwork by students in the Art & Art Education Program that have been selected for the Myers Art Prize and which will join the Program’s permanent collection. The works chosen are provocative and insightful responses to the prompt and title of the show. To intervene is not to stand apart, but to act from within, from the recognition that we are already interdependent. Our bodies share matter with soil, water, and stars; our thoughts are shaped by histories, relationships, and systems we move through. This year’s theme asks artists to sit with interconnectedness as a starting condition — and to consider what care, disruption, or responsibility becomes possible within this awareness. We welcome work that makes visible the connections we live inside: ecological, social, ancestral, psychic — the threads that connect us, seen and unseen.

Uncertainty in the Making
The making process is slippery and liminal; compelling artists to encounter uncertainty at their most creative, innovative, and surprising moments.

Leviathan
Leviathan, is a body of work that deals with the material history and relationship that humanity shares with whales, particularly during 19th to 20th century practices of whaling. Doctoral candidate and artist educator, Joe Cimino, has been developing this project since 2023 through time-based media, digital collage, and 3D-printed sculptures with a focus on layering and distortion. This exhibition compiling these works brings moments of time into a singular frame to present this entangled history.
Odds & Ends
Graphic designer by day and craft artist during his free time, Jodie Brown, has always used aluminum foil as a medium to create art. As a youngster his mom would often find her box of Reynolds Wrap in his room. Over time the aluminum creations have become more sophisticated, incorporating clay, paint, balsa wood, doll hairs, coffee stirrers, sand paper, and various other odds & ends.
