SUMMARY:It's Been 20 Years??? | By Maxine Farkas | Lofts Lobby Gallery
DESCRIPTION:As a part of our 20th year anniversary celebration\, this exhibition highlights the work of Maxine Farkas\, who joined the Western Ave Artist Community twenty years ago. The show traces her artistic evolution\, shaped by that creative environment. Maxine has exhibited her work both nationally and internationally. Originally a fiber artist and quilter\, her practice expanded as she connected with other artists in the Western Ave studios. Through this creative community\, she explored painting\, assemblage\, and collage. In recent years\, she has returned to fiber arts and quilting\, creating intuitive\, rule-free work enriched by the materials and techniques developed through her earlier explorations. \nReception: Lofts Lobby\, December 5th\, 5-7pm \nArtist talk: teaching space in studio #225\, November 22nd\, 1PM \n\nJoin us for Open Studios on Saturday\, November 1st\, December 6th\, January 3rd\, and February 7th  from 12–5pm to meet the artist and explore her work\, or to schedule a private visit email Hope Flynn at: hopeaf93@outlook.com

SUMMARY:Cool Comfort | Group Exhibit | 4th Floor Mini Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Cool Comfort explores the dynamic between the cold clarity of the winter and the intimate warmth found inside -whether depicted literally or suggested through abstract form\, color\, and space. The outer landscapes’ austerity sharpens our awareness\, revealing what feels essential. In contrast\, interior warmth becomes a symbol of refuge and connection. This theme reflects how comfort is most deeply understood in relation to its opposite\, allowing both representational scenes and abstract gestures to express the dynamic between the edge of chill and the warm embrace of home. \n  \nThis show is open to the public February 2nd – March 8th
