EXHIBITIONS ON VIEW IN THE GALLERIES

Off-Center: Art That Pushes Boundaries & Emerging Artist Julia Zastrow 

Off-Center, which runs from October 3 – November 1, invites artists from around the country to push the boundaries of art imagery with works that inspire thought, provoke emotion, and induce awe. From the bizarre and emotive to the fantastic and inspirational, this exhibition seeks submissions that defy expectation, provoke strong responses, or challenge social norms to surprise and thrill our visitors.
