"Michelle Yi Martin and Johanna St. Clair: Curious Gestures" April 5 - June 8, 2025

Main Gallery | Curated by Louisa Gloger and Noelle Hiam

This collaborative exhibition of works by two San Francisco-based artists invites viewers to explore the fascinating tension between fragmentation and unity in both weaving and painting. The process of weaving, wherein individual threads become a cohesive fabric, mirrors the dynamic of painting, where brush strokes slip between distinct marks to create a unified narrative. Michelle Yi Martin’s practice is rooted in the progressive traditions of the Bauhaus and Black Mountain College. Johanna St. Clair often paints outdoors in order to develop an intuitive visual language.

"Van Waring: Fool's Puzzle" April 5 - June 8, 2025

Coastal Marin Artists Gallery | Curated by Noelle Hiam

Bolinas-based artist Van Waring’s practice includes textile-inspired drawings as well as real textiles and fabric play. The works featured in this exhibition invite viewers to examine the limitations and openings, the finite and infinite, in what we weave together in our lives, as well as the resources, the medium, and the mind. Waring explores “what we do in the meantime”–– her stories, textures, and threads trace the interconnected mess that weaves us all together.

"Terri Loewenthal: Mt. Tam" April 5 - June 8, 2025

Photography Gallery | Curated by Noelle Hiam

Oakland-based artist Terri Loewenthal uses a unique optical technique to create luminous, otherworldly photographs that reimagine the genre of landscape photography. Her starting point for this exhibition is the natural beauty of Mount Tamalpais, to which she brings her own personal and idiosyncratic sense of color and form. Loewenthal’s photographs “reflect the truth of countless multiplicities: the human capacity for intimacy with land; our connection to a reality that arises from emotion and imagination; and our longing for wild, transformative experiences within and without the psyche.”
