Outsider Art Fair 2025
Sharon Kerry Harlan solo presentation 27 February - 2 March 2025We are pleased to share the news the we will present a dramatic solo exhibition for Sharon Kerry-Harlan at The Outsider Art Fair
As an artist, I am driven by the thrill of discovery. My childhood dream of becoming an archaeologist finds expression in these embellished works. They allow me to excavate and assemble memories, preserving the echoes of lives lived. Over the years, family, friends, and colleagues have entrusted me with their mementos—objects belonging to their loved ones or themselves—asking me to weave their stories into my art. These heirlooms transform the quilt into a living archive, a tribute to connection and remembrance.

Change Makers
A Dedicated Exhibition of Prints from Gallery Artists 24 January - 22 March 2025Change Makers, a curated showcase of new print works by artists Carolyn Mazloomi, Stan Squirewell, Gio Swaby, Moridja Kitenge Banza, Sameer Farooq, andthe gallery debut for artist Nitza Tufiño on view January 24 - March 22, 2025. This dynamic exhibition spotlights a variety of printmaking techniques underscoring complex themes of identity, and cultural and political histories. Change Makers both directly and elliptically questions dominant narratives in popular culture on beauty, history, and heritage as well as within the deeper epistemological underpinnings of art history itself.
“I am thrilled to present our first ever print-focused exhibition by the gallery’s incredible roster of artists,” states Claire Oliver. “I’ve long been a collector and admirer of prints, so this has been an exhibition I’ve wanted to organize for some time. It's been incredible to see how our diverse artists, who work across media including collage and textile, approach this new medium with creativity and innovation.”
