"The Way is Not a Way But a Place" by Chloe Wildwerding
This is a solo exhibition by mixed media artist Chloe Wilwerding blends photography, embroidery, and quilting into textile portraits of place. Through references to merit badges and outdoor gear, the show proposes a shift from achievement in nature towards wonder, intimacy, and attention to the landscape.

GEOart Collective: Cracks, Layers, Water
The GEOart Collective is an international consortium of artists who share a love and fascination of nature and the geosciences.

Artists in the GEOart Collective have exhibited their work locally, nationally and internationally.
