Current Exhibitions
Sylvan Essence
Shoshana Fink
Dates: June 12–July 31, 2025
Opening reception: Thursday, June 12, from 6–8 PM
Sylvan Essence is a multi-sensory, interactive installation exploring the visual, auditory and aromatic language of the Hoh Rainforest, a temperate rainforest situated on the ancestral lands of the Hoh and Quileute Tribes.
Using image, sound, and scent from the Hoh, Sylvan Essence employs photography, sculpture, sound and olfactory elements, allowing the viewer to see, hear and smell the entangled web of relationships and complex conversations that make up the arboreal universe.

On Tree Time
Meghan Duda
Dates: June 12–July 31, 2025
Opening reception: Thursday, June 12, from 6–8 PM
On Tree Time is a visual journey through rewilded landscapes in the Three River’s Park District, focusing on restored forest sites in Crow-Hassan, Baker and Elm Creek Park Reserves. The dream-like pinhole photographs live in a parallel existence, where past, present and future reside.
Through extended exposures of these thoughtfully managed spaces, the images invite you to wonder what it would be like to observe the world On Tree Time.
