In My Backyard

Exploring the Intersection Between Inside and Out

As spring casts its spell, the work in our April exhibition captures the tranquility, cultural nuances, sense of community, and potential dangers lurking outside our back door. Exploring the fragile boundaries between inside and out, this month’s artists uncover the hidden significance of everyday objects, anticipate unseen threats, and revel in the restorative quality of nature.
