Stitches & Wiggles: Unraveled and Reimagined Mixed Media Art by Jody Alexander and Thomas Campbell, on view Oct 24, 2025 – Mar 8, 2026, invites us to participate in an object-based dialogue that speaks to the similarities of vision, intention, and ways of creating. Alexander and Campbell gather materials to reuse, repurpose, repair, mend, patch, or stitch together to make compelling artworks that use the language of our time.

Encounters: Photography of r.r. jones, on view Oct 17, 2025 – Feb 15, 2026, demonstrates how the well-traveled fine arts photographer captures images that reveal the dynamic and lively curiosity that has sustained his creativity and informed his generous worldview. Featured in his exhibition are portraits from spiritual journeys to Bali, Southeast Asia, and Mexico, where he encountered and connected with spiritual leaders and everyday people in memorable and soulful ways. These photographs reveal the emotional depth, observant eye, and skilled technical skills of r.r. jones.

Both exhibitions were curated by Susan Hillhouse Leask.
