🌈 Celebrating Our Award Winners — Beyond the Rainbow 2026

Last night’s opening reception was incredible, and we’re thrilled to honor the artists whose works stood out in this year’s Beyond the Rainbow exhibition. (Yes we intend to have this again next year!)

✨ Award of Excellence
• “Inevitable” by Zachary Steele
• “Local Ordinary” by Jacob Goble

🎖️ Curator’s Choice
Selected by co‑curator Bex Morrissey
• “Bear Trap” by Yoonis Skully

🏆 Best in Show
• “I’m Not Hysterical” by Nella Baduini — a stunning sculptural work created entirely from wool.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to our resident artists Dawn Isbell and Jennifer Mallory, and to barista Ash Hatch, whose hard work and care made the installation and gallery prep seamless. Their dedication — along with the ongoing support of all our resident artists who welcome and assist guests during exhibitions — is what allows us to provide the level of service, hospitality, and respect our exhibiting artists, their work, and our community deserve.

✨ If you missed opening night, don’t worry — the exhibition runs through September 27th.

Come experience these powerful works in person and continue celebrating the artists who make Beyond the Rainbow such a vibrant, meaningful show.
