I Remember It Better: 2026 Distillery Residency Exhibition

The title of this year’s Distillery Residency exhibition speaks to the process of looking back, and the tendency to compare where we are with where we’ve been. This year’s artists-in-residence present seven distinct worlds, with their own unique aesthetic and material qualities, nevertheless united by a focus on the past—through memory, history, and found materials. The works in I Remember It Better show that the past is not a fixed reality, but is actively constructed through looking backward, looking forward, and in making space for the dissonance of being in-between.

This year’s Artists-in-Residence are Kaylani Brown, Liv Cocozza, Darya Kharabi, Ethan Marks, Sara Ruiz, Isabella Schubert-Jones, and Dominique Swift.

I Remember It Better will be on view at the Brew House Arts Gallery from April 16 to June 20, 2026. Our gallery is open appointment Mondays-Wednesday, on Thursdays from 2-7 pm, and Fridays and Saturdays from 11-4 pm. For more information or to schedule an appointment, please go to brewhousearts.org, or email [email protected].

The Distillery residency is one of BHA’s longest running programs—a year-long studio residency designed to help seven Pittsburgh-based emerging artists transition into a professional artistic career by supporting a rigorous studio practice and providing professional development opportunities in a creative and affordable environment. Selected artists are given access to a private studio, mentorship, professional development programming, and are featured in the group exhibition.
