Exhibitions
Backward/ Sideways
Backward/Sideways invites viewers to reimagine the familiar. This exhibit explores the shifting nature of perspective through artworks that reflect, invert, and reframe the world around us. From mirrored landscapes to altered viewpoints, the pieces on display encourage fresh ways of seeing—where position and perception become fluid. Whether playful or contemplative, each work opens a window into the unexpected and reminds us that meaning often depends on how, and from where, we choose to look.

Captured in a Moment
Some moments stay with us—whether through beauty, memory, humor, or feeling. Captured in a Moment brings together artists who freeze time in unexpected ways, offering glimpses into personal history, passing scenes, and vivid imagination.
This exhibit spans the quiet and the bold—from peaceful landscapes and nostalgic reflections to surreal dreams, everyday rituals, and cultural snapshots. Each piece marks a moment that lingers—intimate, curious, emotional, or just unforgettable.
Whether drawn from memory, observation, or metaphor, these works invite you to pause and consider the fragments of time that shape our stories.
