Fruit Salad is a group exhibition of ten artists that bridge geographies and ways of working, mentored over the past year by artist Rose Nestler. Like a classic fruit salad, this group brings together a cocktail of unique flavors, perspectives, styles, and techniques. Together, their works create a rich, intriguing and unexpectedly satisfying snack. Artists Amy Ash (NB, Canada), Brooklyn Buzzy (NY, USA), Alexandrya Eaton (NB, Canada), Shama Al Hamed (Abu Dhabi, UAE), Lindsay Kovnat (PA, USA), Jessica Chloe Malyshkin (HI, USA), Hayley Labrum Morrison (TX, USA/MI, USA), Trevor Nathan (NY, USA), Bonnie Paisley (OR, USA), and Seth Relentless (TX, USA) come together to present new work across a variety of mediums. Each contributes their own distinct ingredients of nostalgia, humor, generosity, and belonging with a dash of the uncanny. Join us in savoring these juicy delights at the opening reception on Thursday, January 9th, from 6–8 pm.
