Changes
Suzanne Goldberg
Curated by Adah Rose Bitterbaum
June 19th - July 13th, 2024
These works represent my changes over several years inspired by life events from vacations in Provence, France to being inspired by an exhibition in Paris of Chinese/French artist Zao Wou Ki, and what I call Goldberg Variations which I made while listening to the Glen Gould recordings of that work.

It’s Not Trash
Pam Frederick · Harriet Lesser · Veronica Szalus
Curated by Craig Cahoon
June 19th - July 13th, 2024
The artists Pam Frederick, Harriet Lesser, and Veronica Szalus collaborate for their newest exhibition, It’s Not Trash.
Each of the artists incorporates discarded materials that are often relegated for the city dump or recycling center, but for these artists, discarded materials are much more than “trash” and, in fact, have great potential for aesthetic application.
Frederick created cardboard wall sculptures from shipping boxes. The sculptures include recycled, found objects, and salvaged materials. Everything has been repurposed - no new supplies, paint, or other media were purchased for this exhibition
Lesser’s mixed media prints depict piles of discarded automotive parts, tires and other metal items. Her camera captures these everyday junkyard piles, and through her lens, photo transfers, graphite and color pencil these forms become an engaging abstraction composition.
Szalus’ 3D sculpture commands the center of the gallery with an aperture anchoring suspended paper forms layered with marks from prior artistic applications.
Visitors are invited to view the works on multiple levels highlighting the impact visual forms can have on each of us while sparking conversations about repurposing materials individually, and collectively.

As I was Saying
Kimberley Bursic
Curated by Deborah Addison Coburn and Miriam Keeler
June 19th - July 13th, 2024
My art conveys a personal view of living and the creative struggle to articulate it. It is a place to be an insomniac, for memories, a place of destruction and perseverance. Juxtaposed shapes, colors and material processes disrupt the reading of the piece; like an interrupted thought or conversation. The imagery is yielding to some other thing insisting on attention, where one is left with a vague idea of meaning and a feeling of distraction.

Summer Treats
Robert Cwiok
Curated by Deborah Addison Coburn and Miriam Keeler
June 19th - July 13th, 2024
Growing up in Cleveland Ohio, the winters back then were harsh, grey and long. When Spring arrived, it was glorious and summer was the best. My Sweet of works titled Summer Treats are small collages on panel and canvas and recall those happy days spent enjoying the fields and following the chimes of the ice cream truck. These works were fun to do and I hope that is conveyed by the colors, shapes, and lightness.
First Friday:
