Saturday, January 10th - Not For Sale (NFS) Art Show
The NFS Show reveals the deeply personal side of artistry.

Saturday, February 14th - The Crow Show
Long seen as mysterious and complex, the crow also embodies love, admiration, and enduring bonds. Its presence speaks to loyalty, and the quiet ways affection is carried and expressed.
In this exhibition, artists explore the complexity of the crow - its resilience, intelligence, and mystery - while elevating its softer side: the tenderness of connection, the beauty of respect, and the grace of being seen. In The Crow Show, the bird is not necessarily depicted in form, but felt in spirit. It becomes a mirror of human emotion, reminding us that love, admiration, and resilience often share the same wings.
