"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 Artist conversation with Heehyun Choi, a moving image artist and educator whose work explores the physicality and virtuality of projected images, unseen subjects beyond the camera’s frame, and the shifting nature of perception.
Based in South Korea and the United States, Choi received her BA in Art & Technology from Sogang University and her MFA in Film & Video from the California Institute of the Arts. Her films have been screened internationally at festivals including the Edinburgh International Film Festival, Images Festival, 25 FPS Festival, and Ann Arbor Film Festival, where she received the Mariam Ghani Juror Award. Her work has also been recognized through numerous fellowships and awards, including the 2024 KAFA Award.

Her Visiting Artist Lecture will take place October 20 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.
