Fire > WORKS: Color and Motion
July 2 to August 2, 2026
Sheila Danko creates imaginary landscapes born of faded memories of time, place, and emotional energy. These “landscapes of the mind” represent feelings and experiences associated with a sense of place, rather than the specifics of a single place. By blending reality with abstraction, she hopes to create a sense of the familiar – a place once visited – allowing the viewers memories to merge with her own. Ray Foody explores ways in which art may be viewed as a life form. The opening reception will take place on Friday, July 3, from 5-8 p.m.
The show can be viewed online.
July 2026 Salon
July 2 to August 2, 2026
A selection of works by current gallery members.
The show can be viewed online.
Featured Artist: DemocracyDefenderPMB
This summer DemocracyDefenderPMB is attending local events and festivals to create the WHAT IS YOUR RED LINE? community art project in which participants write their concerns for America onto red ribbons. Thousands of ribbons will be installed in the SOAG Salon this coming October. As we recognize each others RED LINES we become stronger together.
