The artists of Frustrating the Barrier spent the past 9 months gestating new modes of thinking, visualizing, and birthing new bodies of work. Through a diverse array of installation, painting, sculpture, and multimedia, the exhibition invites viewers to reflect on what separates and connects us, both individually and collectively.

Feel like a mess? Bust out your best art smock for Play Date, where innocence and irony collide. This debut solo show by Elizabeth Gordon Stilwell unravels the tangled threads of her evangelical childhood and the ideals of American culture, beauty, sex, gender, and home that came with it. Through large, layered pieces—ranging from sculptures to textiles—she stitches together personal memorabilia and found materials to explore the deliciously weird terrain of girlhood.
