2nd Friday ArtAbout at the Pence Gallery

Join us at the Pence Gallery for our 2nd Friday ArtAbout reception on January 9, 6-9 PM. Enjoy browsing multiple art exhibits, complimentary wine, and an art-themed scavenger hunt. Free admission!

Maryann Steinert-Foley & Diane Williams: The Realm of Possibility | Dec. 12 - Feb. 1

Diane Williams and Maryann Steinert-Foley’s exhibit explores the persistence, generosity, and unseen forces that sustain both nature and humanity. View layered mixed-media paintings by Williams and sculptural works by Steinert-Foley.

Charlene Will: Here for a While | Jan. 9 - Feb. 28

View a solo exhibit by Charlene Will, the recipient of the 2025 Pence Gallery Emerging Artist Award. Her work is rooted in a reverence for nature. Working with oils on canvas, she uses traditional and self-taught brushwork, glazes, and the removal of layers to reveal the ephemeral qualities of light and color found in various natural ecosystems. 

Worn | Jan. 9 - Feb. 8

Clothing that we wear often reflects our personal identity, our culture, or both. Participating artists in Worn explore this theme, illustrating how clothing is a large part of how we see ourselves and how ordinary garments can hold memories and meaning. 

Maris Kaplan: Amateur | Jan. 9 - Feb. 18

With a focus on sustainability, Maris Kaplan’s work often incorporates secondhand materials such as thrifted fabric, upcycled clothing, and found objects. On display along the stairway, this series showcases experimentation with new techniques and materials, embracing wobbly lines, crooked stitches, unexpected shapes, and random color combinations.

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.
