Current Exhibitions
Sharif Bey
Autoethnography
February 12 to July 19, 2026
Opening Reception: Thursday, February 12, 5-7pm
Sharif Bey moves through clay with rare ease, as comfortable making pots as he is conjuring poetic figures, commanding wall works, and the gargantuan necklaces of his
Adornment
series. His work can be read at many levels — as an exploration of layered experience; as an investigation of how meanings can shift according to context; as a ceramic practice that refuses to remain fixed in any one category, celebrating instead the endless possibilities of the medium. This show presents the diversity of Bey’s work, which nevertheless retains a united and utterly unique style, with an emphasis on the transitional space between vessels and sculptures.

Eugene Ofori Agyei
Fihankra (You did not say goodbye when you left home)
February 12 to July 19, 2026
Opening Reception: Thursday, February 12, 5-7pm
In this exhibition, Agyei borrows from the tradition of Adinkra symbolism native to his homeland of Ghana, in which a single symbol (like "Fihankra") can express a range of complex ideas. These symbols are the inspirational core of the works, but are then integrated with wooden benches (polyvalent forms remembered from his youth) and combined with batik fabric, yarn and occasional found objects to create rich assemblages. The resulting works are simultaneously metaphors for fragmented diasporic identity and playful experiments in aesthetic possibility.
