Join us for the annual Contemporary Abstraction 2023

Opening Reception: Friday, July 21, 5-8

We are halfway through another year, and we are celebrating moving forward with an exhibit of work by many of our artists, as well as welcoming some new ones into the stable.

We see the world everyday through our own eyes, and for obvious reasons, we try to remain rooted in a ‘reality’ that can be collectively agreed upon. These artists use their own lenses to make work that not only alters views but makes additional and brand-new perspectives. Summer is a great time to see the world differently, take a break from our own personal realities when possible, and gather together to enjoy beauty and fresh ways of thinking.

New works by the following artists will be on view: David Dahlquist, Al Harris-Fernandez, Jeffrey Glossip, Sarah Grant, Kenneth Hall, Chuck Hipsher, Thomas C. Jackson, Kathranne Knight, Lola Montejo, Teo Nguyen, and Daniela Schweinsberg; as well as work by new artist to Moberg Gallery: Fausto Fernandez and Wendy Westlake.
