Have you heard about a new annual exhibition coming to the Art Center this November? Aware is a community-based project that brings history, cultural diversity and community together through art. The idea is to bring awareness to a topic that affects our community but may not have the attention it deserves.

This year Aware '22 is being led by artist Maggie Kerrigan, who says about the project, "We're not trying to tell someone else's story. What we're trying to do is to bring people to the story."

In the video below, Maggie explains the inspiration behind this project and what to expect from Aware '22.

From a miniature ceramic tea party to an exploratory galaxy, our October exhibition has us all Going to Extremes. You never know how artists are going to interpret a theme and that's what's so fun about seeing an exhibition in person.

​From very big...

To very small...

Going to Extremes, has it all.

Here are some highlights from the opening reception curtesy of Susan Werby.

Going to Extremes is on view October 1-30. It concludes with an Artist Talk on Sunday, October 30 from 3:00-4:00. The exhibition and artist talk are free and open to the public.
