A group exhibition of 14 artists
Join us for the Opening Reception
Friday, November 6, 2026 | 5 to 7 PM | Free, and all ages are welcome
Come in out of the early dark, meet the artists, and see the gallery glow. The exhibition runs November 6, 2026 to January 2, 2027.
The days are growing shorter. The evenings come earlier, and we are heading into the longest, darkest nights of the year.
This is also the season when we gather. We light candles, string lights, and open our doors to one another. Looking to the Light is built on that instinct, the very human choice to turn toward warmth when the world around us goes dim.
Fourteen artists answered our open call with work that explores hope, renewal, illumination, and resilience. Some pieces glow, some reach upward, and some sit quietly with the dark and find the spark inside it. Together they ask a simple question: what are you looking toward?
Light can be literal, like a window at dusk or a flame in glass. It can also be a person who shows up for you, a memory that keeps you going, or the stubborn belief that morning will come. We hope you’ll find a little of each here.
This exhibition is our way of closing the year together, as a community. Come stand in a room full of color on a cold night. Bring a friend, or come alone and meet someone new. Stay a while, and take a piece of the light home with you.
