Nine Gallery

Dream: ... Dream: ... Another dream: …
Linda Hutchins
April 2 - May 2, 2026
First Thursday Reception April 2, 5-9 pm

Nine Gallery member Linda Hutchins exhibits handwritten dreams from fifty recent nights.

Irregular script and scribbled redactions blur the distinction between writing and drawing, continuing the artist's long-running investigation of the formal and metaphorical potential of line as a visual element.

By developing her dream recall and sharing her findings, Hutchins daylights the universal experience of dreaming that has largely disappeared from modern life.

Hutchins will be joined by filmmaker Steven Doughton and art historian, curator, and critic Sue Taylor for a Reading / Screening / Conversation at the gallery on Saturday May 2, 11:00 a.m. - noon (doors open at 10:30).

Nine Gallery was founded in 1987 by nine artists interested in working periodically outside the context of the commercial gallery. It is an artist-run cooperative and is administratively and financially independent from Blue Sky, funded solely by its members. Each member of Nine Gallery is in charge of the gallery for one month each year. Usually members show their own work, however, they are also welcome to curate shows of other artists’ work. Periodically the members of Nine Gallery, present work together in group exhibitions, and at other times they collectively invite other artists to show. Beyond the general interest in creating a largely non-commercial exhibition environment with a minimum of bureaucratic and institutional structure, the members of Nine Gallery have no collective ideological program or philosophy.
