New Exhibit by Expressionist Steven Carlyle Moore titled “Remote Viewing” Saturday, October 10th 12-6pm at the Solar Arts Building

Vivid color. Restless lines. Brushstrokes that seem to move faster than memory itself. Familiar images emerge, then slip into something stranger and remote. At first glance, the exuberant compositions of Steven Carlyle Moore appear deceptively simple: bold, colorful, and immediately distinctive. Yet they resist easy classification. Look closer. Beneath their apparent simplicity lies keen observation and a subtle, incisive wit.

Shop Open Studios plus Indeed Brewing and Pizzeria Lola.
Live Music 2nd floor Gallery Stage:
12-1:30pm - Lexie Modica
2-4pm Jon Loo & The Breakers

True Stories: A Solo Exhibition by Grover Hogan Saturday, October 3rd — Sunday, November 15th at Public Functionary

Presenting colorful, bold mixed-media artifacts, paintings, and altars, True Stories is the first solo exhibition by American artist, educator, and oracle Grover Hogan. Since early 2025, Hogan has studied Tarot’s major arcana, dedicating around one month to embodying each sequential card. This Fool’s Journey has culminated in an interdisciplinary artistic practice of self-reflection and growth.

Through emotional honesty, self-portraiture, and play, True Stories asks the audience to get vulnerable together; to take inspiration from the artist’s messy, weird, little life, and to learn and explore from the stories being told within each work.

Opening Reception with the Artist: Saturday, Oct 3 – 6pm – 10pm
Artist Conversation: Thursday, October 15, 6pm - Grover Hogan in conversation with Tricia Heuring

Grover Hogan is an American interdisciplinary artist, educator, and oracle from Houston, TX, currently based in Minneapolis, MN. Their work combines education, esoteric archetypes, and mixed media alchemy in order to examine the collective American Shadow Self and detangle our psychic knots. Hogan’s artistic practice spans experimental drawing and painting, social practice, critical theory, ritual making, and ruminating. They are most known for their self-portraiture and confessional-style art.
