What does housing justice look like when home itself is under threat? On Sunday, May 31, TRUU’s Social Justice Fellowship will explore the growing crisis of displacement as wealthy investors purchase mobile home parks and put long-standing residents at risk. Centering the voices of neighbors from Cavern Springs Mobile Home Park — including local organizer Judith Alvarez — this service will invite us into the lived reality of people fighting to remain rooted in community and to pursue resident ownership. Together, we will learn about the situation, hear how local residents are responding, and consider meaningful ways to offer support, solidarity, and practical help. Grounded in reflection, connection, and the shared human need for safety and belonging, this service will offer both information and inspiration.

Visceral Alchemy celebrates transformation in its most personal and enduring form. This exhibition explores the powerful act of creating—or receiving—artwork that lasts a lifetime. Tattooers are constantly creating. They regularly translate deeply personal ideas into original works of art, blending in their own style and aesthetic. Their process is both collaborative and expressive.

Once a symbol of counterculture, tattooing has evolved into a widely embraced and respected art form. Today, many tattooers are formally trained artists who maintain vibrant creative practices beyond their occupation. This exhibition brings together a group of artists to examine the relationship between their professional and personal art forms. Could one exist without the other? This curated invitational offers a rare glimpse into the fine art dimension of tattooing, inviting viewers to consider the lasting impact of this art form and industry.

The opening reception is Friday, May 29 from 5-7pm. **See the artists in action Saturday, May 30, from 11am-6pm with live tattooing out of The Launchpad (walk-up, first come, first-served, 18+). On display through July, 3. The gallery is open weekdays from 10am-5pm.

Carbondale Clay Center's One-Off Intro to Wheel: Beginner Spin Workshop

Monday, June 1st, 6 pm-8:30 pm
Teens and Adults
$65/person

The focus of this 2.5-hour introductory workshop is to familiarize participants with the process of throwing on the wheel.

We will cover centering, opening, and pulling clay pieces on the potter's wheel. Because this is just a 2.5-hour introductory experience, the intention is to focus on process. You won’t go home with any finished pieces, but you will have a great evening learning a new skill, getting dirty, and meeting new people. Careful! You might just leave wanting more…
