The Contemporary Gallery

Currently Featuring:

Dwellings: a juried group show by local and regional artists

About the juror: Liana Owad is an artist working with traditional and contemporary mediums to create sculptures and works on paper. Her work explores the domestic space and addresses the ideas of comfort and confinement in the home. She focuses on certain objects from the home or habits of routine daily life in her sculptures, prints, and drawings. Owad received her MFA in 2014 from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and her BFA in 2010 from Kutztown University of Pennsylvania.

Dwellings is a group show of art related to the theme of “home,” a concept rich with meaning that encompasses identity, location, time, and quotidian nuances. This exhibit will be on view at the FAC Gallery from August 17 through October 2024. The reception will be held August 31 from 1-3pm.

Dwellings artists include: Kathy Burke, Elizabeth Crisman, Matthew Clarke Davis, Genie Ghim, Beckie Laughlin, Emimora, Marguerite de Messières, Sheryl Massaro, Julianna McCormick, Matt Mercer, Heather Ravenscroft, Kristie Taylor, Rosa Torres-Rivera, Richard Weiblinger, and Beamie Young.
