Material Haiku MMXXVI by Gaby Oshiro turns her divergent exploration on the evocative power of materials, techniques, and the balance between; subtraction-addition, destruction-creation, chaos-order. A painting is an aesthetic object with its own expressive power that acquires ontological status.
Kindred Spirits is a two-person exhibition by ceramic artist Christine Anderson and abstract painter Benjamin Strawn who share a forty-plus year friendship centered on the exploration and interplay of artistic ideas. Their work embodies their shared creative vision, their love and care for each other, and their emotive depth.

The opening reception will be Friday, April 17 from 5-7pm with an artist talk beginning at 5:30pm. Both shows are on display through May 21.

We are excited to invite families to our early literacy story times. Designed for all ages, we will enjoy stories, songs, and action rhymes in the Community Room. Sitting still is not a requirement for storytime. Young children can reap the benefits of storytelling and songs even while wandering. Give it a try. We would love to see you!

Con gran emoción deseamos invitar a todas las familias a nuestra hora de cuentos para respaldar la alfabetización temprana, creada para peques de todas las edades y presentada en nuestra Sala Comunitaria. Disfrutaremos de historias, canciones y juegos que combinan las rimas con el movimiento. La capacidad de permanecer inmóviles no es una expectativa para la hora de los cuentos, puesto que los beneficios de la narrativa y la música siguen siendo de gran beneficio incluso para peques que prefieren explorar mientras escuchan. Ven a conocer el programa. ¡Nos encantaría verte! El programa será facilitado en inglés.

After-school classes are a fun and welcoming space where elementary students can explore their creativity and imagination. Students will experiment with drawing, painting, collage, and mixed media while learning basic art skills through hands-on projects and playful exploration. Emphasis is placed on creativity, curiosity, and self-expression rather than perfection, helping young artists build confidence and enjoy the process of making art. In a supportive and encouraging environment, students will make new friends, try new materials, and discover the joy of creating something uniquely their own.
