"The Beauty of Beasts" is a solo show by scratchboard artist Megan George. From her upbringing on a dairy farm to her career as a vet tech, animals have taught Megan the essence of what it means to be on this earth. Her work conveys the emotions and lessons that animals can teach us, in all their life stages.
"Everlasting Floral Design" is a solo show by Abby Zlotnick, owner of Juniper Farm, whose show celebrates the timeless beauty of locally-grown flowers through all-dried, everlasting arrangements and installations. Abby has been consistently inspired by farming since her first farming experience in 2012. Since then, Abby has made it her mission to share a slice of the Earth's greatest joys with her community.
Both exhibitions are generously sponsored by Land + Shelter Architecture Studio and Down Valley Brewing, and are on display through October 29. The gallery is open weekdays 10am-5pm

Join Anderson Ranch Arts Center for a Visiting Critic conversation with Damien Davis, a Newark-based artist and curator whose practice recontextualizes cultural symbols to explore and challenge ideas of identity and history. His work brings together imagery, materials, and references from diverse cultures, creating new connections and perspectives.
Davis has exhibited at leading institutions including The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Arts and Design. He holds a master’s degree in Visual Arts Administration from New York University and brings a multidisciplinary perspective shaped by his work as both an artist and curator.
As part of Anderson Ranch’s Artists-in-Residence Program, Davis will provide critical feedback to resident artists and students, offering thoughtful insight into the development and direction of their work. During his visit, he will also share his practice and perspectives with the broader Ranch community through a public lecture.
Damien Davis’s Visiting Critic Lecture will take place October 28 from 4:30–5:30 p.m. in Schermer Meeting Hall. The lecture is free, open to the public, and available to attend in person or via livestream.
