Contemporary Innovations: James Gardner
Of Verses, Vines, and Venerators
Mixed media
A collection of recent work by Montreal artist James Gardner, this exhibition continues his task of reinterpreting religious imagery through the lens of Western esotericism. Looking to the iconography of martyrdoms and the depictions of saints, Gardner’s recent work traces the historical iterations and mutations of these images while attempting to link their symbolism with myth and personal resonances. Through the activity of painting, common or even mundane images continually evolve to help in processes that reclaim the “symbolic imaginal” and animate new forms of knowledge and experience.
Sep 5–Nov 1
The Crib Exhibition
Works in a variety of media
In this unique exhibition, artists were invited to submit proposals focusing on the topic of mental health and mental health risk by utilizing premade cribs from local artist Jim Roberts. The result is 15 artists' unique perspectives expounded upon by the same object.
Sep 5–Nov 1
Rhonda Smith
Persistence
Linoleum prints
Cutting these images of the historic farmland of Antietam National Battlefield is the artist’s way of cultivating a fertile line of remembrance to forge a memory of place. Places hold the history of what came before only as long as we care to acknowledge the power of place within our national discourse. Acknowledging the past is the only way to fully embrace “all men are created equal” as a national identity and destiny.

The work in this exhibition is a reflection on the natural world as an ever-changing playground for the mind to wander and escape from the inevitability of chaos that living in human society seemingly brings.
