June 23 - July 21

Strohl Art Center | Main Galleries | Opening reception June 23, 3-5pm

Enjoy this exhibition featuring seven talented artists who work with paper. Working with paper requires a special set of skills and a steady hand as it is known to be unforgiving. Passion for Paper, a thematic exhibition, features seven talented artists that have mastered their techniques and personal styles, resulting in a series of beautiful and intelligent works. Abstraction and realism will be featured in the Main Gallery, including a large hanging installation. This exhibition is generously sponsored by Gary and Willow Brost. Curated by Judy Barie.

Fowler-Kellogg Art Center | First Floor Galleries and the Angela Fowler Memorial Gallery | Opening reception June 23, 3-5pm

This exhibition is a nuanced exploration into woven structures including jacquard weaving, pulled warp tapestry, and basketry. While distinct in style and perspective, these works collectively address notions of containment, transformation, and connection to place through abstraction. They make space for and carry our stories. Curated by Erika Diamond. Artists: Austin Ballard, Carrie Hill, Susan Iverson, Anina Major, John Paul Morabito, Skye Tafoya, Hope Wang, and Sarita Westrup.

The Art of Robert Villamagna

June 23 - July 18

Strohl Art Center | Bellowe Family Gallery | Opening reception June 23, 3-5pm

Robert Villamagna grew up in the Rust Belt in Ohio and started making art as a young child with materials he found in his home. He now passionately works with colorful found materials, especially items that have language, show use, and are rusted. These discarded metal items breathe life into his colorful sculptures and two dimensional wall pieces. A strong sense of hidden messages are paramount in his work.

In the Garden

July 24 - August 21

Strohl Art Center | Main Galleries | Opening reception July 24, 3-5pm | Gallery Talk with exhibiting artists 5-6 pm

Inspired by what we learn from the garden, this exhibition reflects the complicated histories and often tenuous futures of flowers and food. It also digs at our relationship to them, as those charged with tending the garden. Through media ranging from still life painting to glass pâte de verre, these works tackle diverse subjects such as climate change, indigenous plant knowledge, growth/decay, and tulip mania. This exhibition and related programming are generously sponsored by the Kay Hardesty Logan Foundation. Curated by Erika Diamond. Artists: Julia Blume, Kate Clements, Hillary Waters Fayle, Brian Fleetwood, Ryan Michael Flores, Margaret Jacobs, Regan Rosburg

Strohl Art Center | Main Galleries | Opening reception June 25, 3-5pm

They document, dissect, imagine, and tend to these spaces. Sponsored by the Jerome M. Kobacker Foundation. Curated by Erika Diamond. Artists: Marifer Fernanda Barrero, Samantha Fields, Liz Nielsen, Mika Obayashi, Hồng-Ân Trương and Lien Truong.

Untitled 7 (2023)

July 23 - August 20

Strohl Art Center | Bellowe Family Gallery | Opening reception July 23, 3-5pm

Jeremy Boyle and Mark Franchino began a collaborative practice in 2012, exploring common interests in their individual studio practices and artwork. Their forthcoming exhibition / installation at CVA’s Bellowe Family Gallery will be their seventh solo exhibition of collaborative work, with each a further blurring of authorship between the two. Their site specific installations often springboard from an ongoing investigation into the forms and functions of the utilitarian systems that surround us, such as electrical conduit and heating ducts. Curated by Judy Barie. Artists: Jeremy Boyle and Mark Franchino.

In Conversation (2023)

July 26 - August 21

Strohl Art Center | Main Galleries | Opening reception July 26, 3-5pm. Gallery Talk with Donté Hayes and Gabe Brown at 4:30pm

While quite distinct in form and material process, each of these mostly monochromatic works evoke a sense of transformation or "becoming" through pattern and repetition. While creating very different objects regarding form and tone, these artists generate conversation around layering, ornamentation, structure, and spirit. They explore notions of detachment, hollowness, intimacy, memory, and place. Sponsored by Brenda & Larry Thompson. Curated by Judy Barie and Erika Diamond. Artists: Eliza Au, Gabe Brown, Molly Hatch, Donté Hayes, Karlyn Sutherland, and Arielle Zamora.

All That Glitters (2022)

June 26 - August 07

Fowler-Kellogg Art Center | First Floor Galleries and the Angela Fowler Memorial Gallery | Opening reception June 26, 3-5pm

This exhibition takes its cue from the aphorism “All that Glitters is not Gold”. The dazzling works in this exhibition use embellishments of glitter and gold to question notions of value.

They illustrate the importance of human contact, chosen family, and hope in dark times. Sponsored by Brenda and Larry Thompson. Curated by Erika Diamond. Artists: Tracey Beale, Steven Frost & Frankie Toan, Yvette Molina, Mikael Owunna, Samantha Wall.

Wallflowers (2022)

July 24 - August 21

Strohl Art Center | Bellowe Family Gallery | Opening reception July 24, 3-5pm

The elegant sculptures of Rain Harris will be featured in this one-person exhibition. They are refined, domesticated, and shaped into formalized landscapes and still lifes. Set mostly in black porcelain, Harris’s meticulously hand-formed ceramic flowers are composed in lush arrangements. This combination of delicate petals and flowers creates a visual hybrid of opulence and elegance born of high and low heritage. At the heart of Harris’s sculpture is an investigation of the ideas of beauty, artificiality and preciousness. They owe their heritage to the 17th century Baroque and Flemish Vanitas tradition and to Harris’s experience in Jingdezhen, China. Curated by Judy Barie, the Susan and John Turben Director of Galleries.

Spend some time with meticulous and contemplative works by Hannah Chalew, Yewen Dong, Chris Friday, Bryan McGinnis, Anna Muradyan, Rachel Rickert, Matt Smith, Taro Takizawa, and Jenny Wu.
