A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us for the opening reception of Sally Veach: Hubris and the Sublime! 🌿🎨

It was a wonderful evening of art, conversation, and community as we celebrated Sally Veach’s immersive exploration of humanity’s relationship with the natural world.

✨ Couldn’t make the reception? There’s still plenty of time to experience the exhibition!

Sally Veach: Hubris and the Sublime is on view through October 12 in the Cohen Gallery East at GoggleWorks Center for the Arts. Come explore the work and reflect on our place within the natural world. 🌎
