SUMMARY:GPAG: ROSE STARDUST | Art\, Wit\, and Other Coping Mechanisms
DESCRIPTION:When the world starts to feel absurd\, we have art to hold us. This exhibition by Rose Stardust in Joe’s Lounge moves through a familiar rhythm\, from a symbolic morning of hope\, to a night marked by doubt\, and everything in between. It follows the ways we cope\, make sense of things\, and keep going\, even when nothing quite adds up. Creativity runs through the work as both a lifeline and inquiry. Engaging with art – getting our hands dirty\, our minds solving problems – is not just a way to get through. It’s a way of working with what’s unresolved\, and looking a little closer\, with intention. It’s therapy and escape\, all at once. Stardust’s paintings carry a dream-like\, contemporary relic quality. Strong shapes sit alongside distressed\, shifting atmospheres\, built layer upon layer\, holding both clarity and erosion at once. \nJoin us at the Opening Reception on Saturday\, May 2nd\, 2pm – 4pm. All are welcome!

SUMMARY:GPAG: MAUREEN SUGRUE | Pathways
DESCRIPTION:Maureen Sugrue’s exhibition in the Eve Smart Gallery Pathways represents ideas that came from conversations about aging\, paths taken or not taken\, and the journey to “now” in our lives. These conversations led to seeing or imagining paths; not necessarily literal versions\, but instead interpretative impressions of the mental pathways that intertwine throughout our lives. Each work begins with white cloth developed in stages through dyeing\, stitching\, painting\, and printmaking techniques\, with constant experimentation during the process; resulting in vibrant cloth banners that represent a diverse array of mediums and techniques. Sugrue’s creative process involves the full development of an idea to a resolution\, a deeply satisfying process that is also inspired by both the nature and culture surrounding her. \nJoin us at the Opening Reception on Saturday\, May 2nd\, 2pm – 4pm. All are welcome!

SUMMARY:GPAG: YUAN WEN | Unbounding
DESCRIPTION:Exploring the intersections of material agency\, natural cycles\, and spatial fluidity\, Yuan Wen’s exhibition Unbounding in the Main Gallery features organic forms reflecting the artist’s scientific interests and addressing environmental concerns. It challenges the boundaries between solidity and transience and examines the interactions and degradation of natural and synthetic materials within this evolving context. Wen combines printmaking methods with painting\, utilizing lithography and hand-drawn elements to create networks of organic forms\, suspended fragments\, and flowing gestures; emphasizing the patterns that emerge in nature\, from cellular formations to vast environmental landscapes. Inspired by 17th-century scientific illustrations\, these pieces investigate the intersection of observation\, documentation\, and the evolving human relationship with the natural world. Ultimately\, Unbounding encourages viewers to rethink their connection with materiality and the environment\, prompting reflection on the unseen forces that influence personal and collective experiences. \nJoin us for the Opening Reception on Saturday\, May 2nd\, 2pm – 4pm. All are welcome!

SUMMARY:GPAG: BOB EVERMON | We Are the Eyes of the Stars
DESCRIPTION:Bob Evermon’s exhibition in the Main Gallery\, We Are the Eyes of the Stars\, speaks to what can be sensed beneath the layers of visual art; as well as to the little moments in life that catch one’s attention. Evermon’s work is anchored in natural forms\, line\, colour\, structure\, and beauty. He explores the depth and poetry of visual language\, translating stories that we draw from nature into his works. We Are the Eyes of the Stars also explores the consciousness of the universe and our role as its timekeepers\, as well as our attempts to make logical sense of our lives and our attempts to map or record them for posterity. \nJoin us for the Opening Reception on Saturday\, May 2nd\, 2pm – 4pm.
