Looking for something fun to do during Spring Break? During our Shout Out exhibition (March 13th – 30th), GPAG will be open every day 11am – 4pm. Parents and guardians, bring your young artists down anytime to see the exhibition and to enjoy our creation station!
We will be providing all you need to do four fun crafts: collage, weaving, origami, and rock painting; as well as a drawing station. Try out a new craft, and then bring your masterpiece home or trade it with others through our artwork exchange board. This is a free drop in activity station for all ages that will be open anytime throughout the exhibition. Young children must be accompanied by an adult.

Strength & Fragility
Reception + Artist Talk: SATURDAY, June 22nd at 5pm
This exhibition explores the fragility found in nature specifically represented by the nests of birds, captured in charcoal and cold wax. Nests are built to house the most precious and fragile objects, their eggs. There is nothing more fragile than new life and time is short for the birth to happen and the survival of their young for the species to continue. Some nests are extreme in the lack of materials used. Possibly a few strands of grass or sticks that defy the very word of protection for the egg laid.
