There is still time to celebrate Weathering: The Endurance of the Ordinary.

Please join us tomorrow from 4–6 PM at Phaeton Gallery for a Closing Reception honoring the remarkable artists whose work has filled our gallery with beauty, insight, and conversation throughout the past month.

And yes, we've been airing a little laundry. The clothesline that runs through the gallery is a humble symbol for Weathering—a place to honor the ordinary, the everyday, the beautiful, and the worn, letting each artist's story catch the light of a shared experience. She's been a lovely muse!

At 4:30 PM, enjoy a special conversation with the artists hosted by our dear friend, Jan Karon, #1 New York Times bestselling author. We will open our talk with a special poetry reading by G.E. Louis, father of Weathering artist Somé Louis.

As we prepare for our summer recess, we want to extend heartfelt thanks to the many visitors, supporters, collectors, and buyers who have kept the gallery buzzing with energy all month long. Your enthusiasm and engagement make these exhibitions possible.

Final look?
�Today: 10 AM–3 PM
�Tomorrow: Noon–6 PM

Or visit our website to see the show online and learn about the Artists of Weathering.

Come celebrate the artists, connect with the community, and help us close out a wonderful season together.

Weathering: The Endurance of the Ordinary
�Closing Reception & Artist Conversation
