Upcoming Programming
DomesticLands: Artist Talks
On Thursday, May 6, at 6:30 pm, meet the exhibiting artists of 'DomesticLands' for an insightful look into the works of Morgan Bukovec, Gary Sczerbaniewicz, and Allison M. Walters.
The home is a place that fosters our understanding of relationships. During the early years of childhood is when we develop socially and emotionally. Later in life, these early years will impact our ability to foster relationships, empathize, and how to interact with others. When revisiting memories of home, it is important to teeter on the edge of both joy and trauma as this duality defines us. There are nurturing memories that offer safety and warmth. However, for others, the home can represent pain where a moment of trauma is forever encased in time. Home can be a physical location, associated with the material, or defined within one's self. This cultivation of objects and relationships defines who we are.
Presenting works by Morgan Bukovec, Gary Sczerbaniewicz, and Allison M. Walters.

Past Programming
Coveted Panel Discussion
On Thursday, March 4, DRB, PhD., joined the exhibiting artists of Coveted as moderator for a panel discussion. During this panel discussion, we explored themes of love, relationships, and desires from the perspective of the other, which is not readily accessible in mainstream media. This free virtual event was in partnership with Kaiser Gallery in an effort to facilitate interdisciplinary conversations with artists about pertinent topics of our times.
Kaiser Gallery's exhibition Coveted features works that offer a range of perspectives that are not easily accessible in mainstream culture. While representations of the male gaze can be found in abundance when exploring themes of love, relationships, and desires, these artists offer another narrative.
The panel discussion featured Coveted exhibiting artists Stefani Byrd, Dani Clauson, Leiyana Gonzales, Sydney Kleinrock, Megan Lubey, Olga Nazarenko and Rebecca Poarch.
