First Thursday Opening: Jun 5, 5 - 9 PM

In-Person Artist Talk: Sat, Jun 7, 2 PM

In I Want to See How Things Play Out, Jesse Egner uses humor and absurdity to navigate themes of queerness. Working with familiar everyday objects, he co-creates moments that blur fantasy and reality with his collaborators. Rooted in Egner's experiences with body shaming and marginalization, these photographs subvert conventional norms and empower queer dynamism.

First Thursday Opening: Jun 5, 5 - 9 PM

In-Person Artist Talk: Sat, Jun 7, 3:30 PM

Mariette Pathy Allen’s exhibition Breaking Boundaries: 50 Years of Images showcases her career photographing transgender and gender-expansive communities with compassion and dignity. Beginning in 1978, Allen’s intimate portraits challenged harmful stereotypes and offered a humane view of gender diversity. As political threats to transgender rights persist, Allen’s work stands as both powerful art and vital historical record, capturing love and resilience across generations.
