Welcome to our WINTER 2025 ARTISTS-IN-RESIDENCE!
Balam Bartolomé, Jen Clay, Ioannis Anastasiou and Majka Dokudowicz
Traditional materials and handmade methods offer grounding within time’s incessant flow in an uncertain, anxiety-filled world. The Winter 2025 Artists-in-Residence—Ioannis Anastasiou and Majka Dokudowicz, Balam Bartolomé, and Jen Clay—use visual metaphors and techniques rooted in the collective past to help us navigate an evolving future.
Printmakers Ioannis Anastasiou and Majka Dokudowicz, founders of Misprint Studio in Wroclaw, Poland, explore the rich history of printmaking through handmade botanical paper, meticulous hand stitching, and traditional techniques, re-inventing the classic by pushing its creative boundaries.
John O. Calmore Creative Activism artist Balam Bartolomé connects art, history, and culture through sculpture, photography, and writing, asking how art becomes a means of survival in times of crisis.
Textile artist Jen Clay crafts sensory-inclusive works using comforting materials and ambiguous creatures to engage audiences in conversations about mental health, uncertainty, and cosmic horror.
The showcase will be on view on the second floor from March 1 to April 12, 2025.
Visit anytime during gallery hours to meet the artists and explore their works.
