Only 2 weeks left to visit "Patterned," a SPACES curatorial project that asks the question, can visual patterns help us understand patterns of behavior and vice versa? This exhibition features an intergenerational group of five artists whose work approaches patterns as visual designs, conceptual constructions, and symbols of cultural heritage. It includes textiles, printmaking, photography, and sculpture made by artists based in the Midwest and East Coast regions: Yuko Kimura, Rebecca Marimutu, Susan Schroeder, Lo Smith, and Annmarie Suglio.

We're open today, 12:00-5:00 PM, and next week Wednesday - Saturday, 12:00-5:00 PM. Hope to see you soon!
