There is something generous in Mike’s practice, humor alongside tenderness, fragments of memory, observation, and everyday life finding their way into paintings that never quite tell us the whole story. They leave a little room for us to enter.

Closing Reception | September 5 | 6–8 PM
We’ll celebrate Mike, the work, and the close of this wonderful exhibition with special refreshments and curated complimentary cocktails + mocktails.

A little gallery check-in from Italy 🇮🇹 while Mike Holsomback’s One Monkey Don’t Stop the Show continues at The 109.

Mike’s exhibition is full of the humor, curiosity, layered storytelling, and unexpected turns that have made his work, and his influence as an artist and longtime educator, such an important part of our region. If you haven’t spent time with it yet, there’s still time.

I’m incredibly thankful to our gallery community and family for keeping the doors open while I stepped away for a rare opportunity to join fellow artists in Living in the Play: Nido V, an international artist residency in Monte Castello di Vibio, Umbria, culminating in an exhibition of work developed here.

Weekend Gallery Hours
Saturday 11–4
Sunday 11–3

Evening appointments are also available during the week. Email [email protected] to schedule a complimentary viewing. Special event hours will be posted as they’re added.

Come spend a little time with Mike’s work. ❤️
