Dougherty Arts Center Opening Reception

This winter, the Julia C. Butridge Gallery at the Dougherty Arts Center is proud to present Windows of the World, a solo exhibition by Austin-based artist Laura Clay.

Drawing from her experience as a Mexican-American artist, Laura Clay's latest body of work invites viewers to peer through metaphorical windows into multifaceted worlds. Each piece acts as a portal, framing the complex interplay of bicultural identity, memory, and the search for balance between chaos and order. The exhibition explores how our internal landscapes are shaped by the cultural and traditional windows we look through.

The show will feature a compelling collection of abstract paintings where viewers can expect to encounter Laura's signature use of rich gradients, textures, and evocative forms that navigate both personal and cultural narratives.

Hosted in a beloved community space, this exhibition offers a moment of reflection on the diverse perspectives that connect us. The Julia C. Butridge Gallery is free and open to the public.

We invite you to join us for an opening reception, while we explore the interior and exterior worlds that shape who we are.
