Vessel can reference the importance of a sacred place that holds that precious “thing"; A functional work that speaks to the ebb and flow, the in and out movement of substance and of life. A work that can be utilitarian or hold a special place of honor. For eons, the vessel is an essential part of life and art. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56c0b66dd51cd414365a370b/1741283655381-AXH1ZS9KVMAIXH6SK6VD/Reception+March+22nd+11am+-+4pm.png Exhibitions Archive - Arising 2025 Artwork by students from Governors State, Prairie State, Bloom, Bloom Trail, Rich Township, and Marian Catholic High School. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56c0b66dd51cd414365a370b/1729801078181-CUU3254ONFR1EQG8BULC/Add+a+subheading.png Exhibitions Archive - Mi Pueblo- mi vista: A Solo Exhibition by Fermin Barbosa An exhibition of paintings by artist Fermin Barbosa.

The gas mask serves as a potent symbol, representing both a cautionary tale of a potential future if we neglect collective responsibility and a reflection on the modern world of masked identities and disconnectedness prevalent in today's global society. This duality emphasizes the need to foster a deeper connection to our environment and one another. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56c0b66dd51cd414365a370b/1729801388984-0JODC779220K7FUYK94U/Verde+Variants+Postcard.png Exhibitions Archive - Verde Variants Typically, green is seen as the hue of life, nature, and renewal. It can signify growth, harmony, and fertility. It can also evoke the fresh start of spring, the tranquility of a forest, or the vibrant energy of a verdant landscape. But green's spectrum goes beyond the natural world—it also encapsulates themes of envy, vitality, and the supernatural, conveying multitudes of emotions and ideas. Each piece in this collection reflects the artists' interpretation of 'green' translated through painting, photography, printing making, sculpture, and everything in between. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56c0b66dd51cd414365a370b/1729801457194-57KEGSFBII2G2J1MQFCD/Natural+Inclinations.png Exhibitions Archive - Natural Inclinations This exhibition is a curated selection of works that represent our artists' most compelling and instinctive creations.
