LYDIA BAILEY: Portraits of Homelessness May 1st through May 20th

TIM LACHINA: The Golden Hour: Polaroid Photographs May 21st – through June 9th

Before the gloaming: the fleeting sliver of time just before sunset sits the golden hour. The time when the sun showers all things with a magical glow, leaving little explicit details, blurring the mind between a dream and reality. 

SPEAK IN IMAGES SEE IN SOUNDS   JUNE 10th – June 30th

A collaboration and celebration of the soul through poetry, photography and music. Artists from three different realms will come together in one evening performance, merging mediums and sources of inspiration.
