Community Calendar

On display through May 15. The Carbondale Arts Gallery is open weekdays 10am-5pm.

“subject/matr/mother” is a group exhibition curated by Shawna Miller with featured artists Mya Cluff, Courtney Dudley, Darla Jackson, LUCIA, Erin Morrison, and Maria Teicher. Matr is the Latin root for material, matter, and maternal. The seven female artists in this show create work that centers the complexity of the maternal experience. The curation aims to celebrate the link between “woman” and “mother,” while interrogating the way we associate them as one-and-the-same, or a preordained linear destiny.
