Portraits of Things: Paintings by Gioia Fonda and Charlie Gill | Oct. 9 - Nov. 29, 2026
This series features Gioia Fonda’s new paintings of arrangements of toys and found objects, alongside paintings by her advisor Charlie Gill based on her past still-life photographs.
Mercy Hawkins: Waltz of Life & Limb | Oct. 3 - Nov. 6, 2026
Pairing her sculptural paintings and vibrant, large-scale watercolors on paper, Mercy Hawkins’ biomorphic shapes speak to a sensory play of color, light, and movement. Her imagery evokes seed pods, flower buds, or microscopic creatures.
Danilo Campos: Out and About | Oct. 9 - Nov. 29, 2026
Danilo Campos’ paintings explore his love of new places and experiences, reflecting his way of seeming to mindlessly go 'out and about,' but coming back with gems of resources.
Misuk Goltz's Class: Expressive Watercolor | Oct. 2 - Nov. 15, 2026
This stairway show illustrates what Misuk Goltz’s watercolor students have achieved during the course of her workshops and reflects the community of painting, encouragement, and friendship that she has fostered while teaching at the Pence since 2020.
Scavenger Hunt: Join us for a fun, art-themed scavenger hunt at the Pence during the 2nd Friday ArtAbout. Complete all of the clues by exploring our exhibits for the chance to win a special prize.
