After over seven years of cycling shows on a six week schedule throughout most of the year, we’re doing things a little differently this summer! Until our solo show with opens August 22nd, you’ll find a rotating presentation of works by Soapbox artists on the walls!

Honestly y’all, it’s been SO much fun to take a little curatorial space to be playful and to have an opportunity to share new original works that aren’t specifically part of an exhibition (hint hint like these new works on paper by that pair more exquisitely than I could’ve ever imagined with ’s pieces from her last solo show). Here’s your reminder that you don’t have to wait for someone else’s permission to switch things up… especially when you happen to be your own boss 😂

Today (11-3 Saturday, 4/25) is your last chance to experience .mccandless’s solo exhibition of original ceramic sculptures, 𝙔𝙤𝙪’𝙧𝙚 𝘼𝙣 𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙡!

While many of these surreal critters will be heading off to their new homes this weekend, you can still explore the full collection (and snag an original piece for yourself!) anytime on the web ✨

Can’t stop thinking about a piece you saw in the show? Email or dm us to set up a viewing appt to revisit the works that caught your eye (yes, even after the show officially ends)!

TFW you put the Birks back on for the first time 🌷

I promise I’ll stop making hyper-specific weather posts once spring decides to officially cooperate and sticks around for more than a day at a time🤞

𝙔𝙤𝙪’𝙧𝙚 𝘼𝙣 𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙡 officially wraps up in the gallery next Saturday, April 25th!

“Evolution doesn’t have a punchline, unless you count the platypus. Though Charles Darwin first proposed the idea of natural selection more than 150 years ago, that process is so arbitrary and usually relies on such incomprehensibly long spans of time that it’s still a hard concept to grasp. It’s not exactly that the “fittest” or best creatures always end up on top. Instead, Darwin posited, variation of all sorts is constantly happening; we’re descendants of the weird mutants who stuck around.

Jennifer McCandless reminds us of this by presenting an ecosystem of misfit creatures — funny, tragic, baffling and wholly human — in 𝙔𝙤𝙪’𝙧𝙚 𝘼𝙣 𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙡, a solo show of ceramic sculptures on view at Soapbox Arts in Burlington.

To be clear, McCandless’ figures are not all the same species; there are aliens and monsters, wildlife, middle-aged women, and even politicians. But all occupy their own niches with a comedic level of specificity that’s deeply humanizing, even when the scene is surreal.”

Huge belated thanks to for this wonderfully thoughtful review of the exhibition! If you didn’t catch it in print the other week, you can still read the full Seven Days write up online via the link in our bio ✨
