Declarations of Incongruence
Curated by Aaron Wilder Opening reception: Friday July 3rd, 6-9pm Closing reception: Friday July 31, 6-9pm Open Hours: Saturdays & Sundays, 2-8pm At a time of commemorations of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, Declarations of Incongruence draws attention to the document’s covert normalization of exclusion and exploitation. Despite 250 years of claimed progress, expanded inclusion, and justice for all, the Declaration’s true legacy continues in the erosion and erasure of cultures, identities, rights, and statuses not only at the federal level, but also perpetuated by state, county, and municipal governments. Curated by Aaron Wilder, this exhibition features artistic declarations that challenge, draw attention to, refuse, and embody resilience despite the perpetuation of incongruence between America’s founding mythology and historic, contemporary, and future realities. |

A Declaration is an explicit expression of feeling or commitment, implying boldness and clarity. It doesn’t just describe reality, it attempts to create one by shaping perception, asserting a claimed truth with conviction and authority, and seeking to initiate action. An Incongruence is the state of being unsuitable, inconsistent, or not fitting together properly, often describing a lack of harmony between ideas, feelings, or actions. It indicates a contradiction, such as a mismatch between words and behavior, or a conflict between an ideal self and actual experience.

One Day DIY Crawl!
Map to the Underground
the alternative art spaces you didn't know existed
Saturday, July 25th, 2026
4pm - 10pm
We're partnering with a few other artist-run/DIY art spaces to throw a DIY Crawl! This event is meant to highlight, celebrate, and uplift some lesser-known art spaces that are off the beaten-path and often overlooked. Each space has a specific run time, with the final stop happening ni de aquí ni de allá. Come by and see what the underground has to offer!
Each space might host a tour of their facilities, information on ways to get involved/regular offerings, an art show, or a community activation. Come through to find out!
Map to the Underground: the alternative art spaces you didn't know existed is a collaboratively organized event meant to bring community to places that they wouldn't normally travel to or have yet to visit!
Are you with an art space and want to get involved in 2027? Please come to the crawl and talk to us, or message ni de aquí ni de allá!

Transfigure
Biannual Radical Intersectional Printmaking Guild Member Exhibition
Opening reception: Friday August 7, 6-8pm
Closing reception: Friday August 28, 6-8pm
Transfigure is an exhibition about hand-made progress - particularly those radical changes and shifts in our lives, our artistic practices, our techniques, our styles and our ideologies. Transfiguration can be personal - the birth of a child, a major move to a new state; political - revolutionary ideologies about human rights, the environment, and war; or cultural - related to concepts of gender, mass media, and notions of ownership. Transfiguration can also be technical, related to print techniques, integration of the digital, and celebrations of historical advancements.
The exhibition includes work by: Heather Huston, Candice Cordova, Jake Lahah, Candace Garlock, Jacquelyn Strycker, Jarden Barbick, Grant Brownlow, Brett Taylor, Saumitra Chandratreya, Chelseá Clarke, Heather Leier, Trishelle Jeffery, and Noah Lagle
