Join the artists and curator for a casual tea & coffee hang out at Gallery Y on Satuday, January 25 from 10 am - noon. We'll have some tea and coffee! (Feel free to bring your own favorite morning beverage as well). If you missed the opening or collage workshop, stop by. If you attended one of our previous events, we'd love to you again! Come meet the artists, connect with the community, and buy some art.

This is the last day of the exhibit! Any art purchased on January 25th can be taken home that day. *We also still offer payment plans to make art purchasing more accessible.

Thank you for your support!

Curator Statement:
Future / Past showcases a collection of mixed-media collages by artists Anjelika Deogirikar Grossman and Molly F. McCracken. While each artist brings a distinctive style to their work, this exhibit weaves a shared thread—exploring the connections between past, present, and future. Viewing their creations together, you can feel the dialogue between our past and future selves and the people whose wisdom and presence shape our lives.
In a world where we write letters, emails, and texts to commemorate milestones, how often do we pause to write to ourselves—to capture this moment in time? What if we cultivated a daily habit of imagining and reimagining the world we want to live in? How do we embrace joy in the every day and find the courage to create when the path forward is unclear?
The colors, shapes, fragments of paper, and depictions of women in these works serve as a reminder to build upon what we have, to find meaning in small joys, and to foster connection within our communities. It is an invitation to reflect, create, and carry forward the beauty of the present into the future.
