Summit DD artist Amanda "A.L." Branham's showcases her practice from 1996 to the present in "Confessions of a Comic Book Artist".

"Never Just a Quilt" | Group Exhibition
This exhibition brings together artists working in traditional and contemporary quilts, quilt patterns and motifs, and illustrated mixed-media artworks. The diverse group consists of Taylor Clapp, Laura Engler, Meryl Engler, Denise Harrison, Davis Saunders, and Stephanie Stewart, showcasing a multitude of perspectives honoring quilt traditions of women, people of color, and the queer community.

Horizon Gallery
"It Is What It Is" | Linda McConaughy

"It Is What It Is" by Linda McConaughy gathers four interrelated bodies of work utilizing multiple media, including geometric abstract paintings, quilts sewn from reclaimed single-use plastic bags, and layered mixed-media pieces that explore the ways internal dialogue shapes perception, identity, and the material world. Through language, repetition, and tactile construction, the works reveal how self-understanding is formed—and often constrained—by habitual thought, cultural messages, and the aesthetics of reassurance. Across all four series, pattern serves as a visual and conceptual metaphor—repetition as reflection, form as self-examination.
