Join Us for an Unforgettable Opening

Upcoming Exhibition: In Tandem

We are thrilled to announce our next exhibition, In Tandem! We extend our gratitude to all the artists who submitted their work and, after a selective process, we’re excited to reveal the participating artists: Mallory Concetta Smith & Rachel Lee, Samantha Jensen & Dylan Gilbert, Daniel Leibovic & Faye Pamintuan, Kaden Bard Dawson & Marin, Jody Servon & Lorene Delany-Ullman, Quentin Fromont & Corentin Darré, Parker L & Jared Dominique, Edin Chinn, Ciaran Short & Paula Romeu, and Angelika Pavlovna & anonymous individuals.

In Tandem highlights how collaboration fosters innovation and redefines artistic identity. The show explores how shared perspectives, symbiotic relationships, and creative tensions shape artistic expression. It also examines how artists from different disciplines influence one another and the emotional depth of working closely with a partner. This exhibition will showcase multimedia works celebrating creative partnerships between artists who share a life, work, or artistic dialogue.

Join us for In Tandem on March 9! Reserve your spot for the free afternoon viewing through this link, or grab a ticket for the evening event, which features an artist panel, Q&A, and more here. Complimentary drinks and bites included!

On February 23, join us for a visit to the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) to explore how different art movements have influenced home décor, furnishings, and design trends. Our tour will focus on handmade craftsmanship in the Arts and Crafts Movement, the geometric elegance of Art Deco, the minimalist aesthetic of Bauhaus and Modernism, and the bold experimentation of Postmodern and Contemporary Design. One of our founding members will guide the tour, and there will be time for sketching. If you're looking for a relaxing Sunday activity and a chance to meet like-minded architecture and design enthusiasts, this is for you! Sign up here.

If this museum visit sounds exciting but you can’t make it, don’t worry—we have more events in the works! Keep an eye out for upcoming April workshops on lino cut prints and cyanotypes, as well as future exhibitions.

Community Highlight

Last week, we hosted a hands-on creative session inspired by the work of Bruno Munari and his philosophy of simplicity through play.

Participants brought objects from home and personalized them through artistic interventions, exploring the intersection of art and everyday life. We want to highlight the work of Jay and Amelie, who transformed a bookend and a tissue box cover, bringing mundane pieces to life with artistic value. The workshop was a fantastic opportunity to meet new people and unwind after a long workday. Check out some highlights.
