LAPIS ROOM
Funhouse: New Work by Rebecca Elise Cook + Lana Scholtz
Opening Reception Thursday, Aug. 6 from 5-8pm
A funhouse is an autonomous space, where you can wander freely through rotating tunnels and halls of mirrors. This collection of work from Cook and Scholtz was inspired by a hot day at the state fair; toys, cakes, bootleg characters and technicolor motion sickness. In pursuit of capturing the fair’s fun, these experimentations in painting revealed both artist’s urgency to seek novelty even in domestic spaces. Baking pans transformed into shiny portals, and maps of patterned chaos reveal nuanced and colorful inner worlds. Both artists are using layered imagery- Lana using veiled, transparent layers of paint over structured drawings, and Rebecca using enamel on plexiglass with found objects revealed underneath.

First Friday ARTScrawl
Friday, September 4th (5-8pm)
Ghostwolf celebrates artist Greta Stockebrand! Greta Stockebrand is an abstract expressionist painter working in acrylics, often blending vibrant color with surreal elements like hyperreal water drops or bubbles. Using everything from brushes to her hands, she builds layered works that invite personal interpretation. Her goal is to give color its own life - beyond this dimension - and to create a space where each viewer finds their own truth within the abstraction. Join us for a meet-and-greet this First Friday ARTScrawl and immerse yourself in color!
