CURRENT EXHIBITS:

Made For These Times

by Ophelia Easton


This body of work is about how it feels to be a young woman, born in the

windblown plains of North Central Montana, facing an era of great change

and pressure from all sides. It is about survival, saying ‘hell no,’ and

standing up for what I love.

NapTime

by Jane Herzog, Carly Schoen, Tuk Vaughankraska, and Angela Yonke


Close your eyes and drift to sleep. Let the collective unconsciousness wash over you. Dream beneath layers of thread and fabric. Possibilities and alternate realities await you.


We have a passion for working with fabric and sewn mediums. This show gathers together blankets, quilts, and textile works from artists Jane Herzog, Carly Schoen, Tuk Vaughankraska, and Angela Yonke
