Main Gallery
The largest gallery typically hosts three exhibitions per year (Fall through Spring). These exhibitions are curated by the Council, or by qualified collaborators, and include multiple artists across varied mediums representing the exhibition’s theme, or as conceived by the juror or curator. Artists are sourced from the Council’s online directory and/or through a public call for artists.
Quintessentially We
November 22, 2024 – January 18, 2025
An artist is a purveyor of truth who uses art to tell personal stories influenced by the time in which they live. This exhibition celebrates quintessentially “we” experiences and cultural connections in everyone’s lives. The work explores a wide range of expressions in contemporary culture, including themes like aging, pregnancy, motherhood, regional and international connections, religious identity, ancestral heritage, clothing, hair, body identity, hyphenated cultural experiences, rituals, and familial celebrations.
Guest Curator: Wendy Arimah Berot of Jamaica Center for Arts and Learning (Queens, NY)

Debra Robert: HumanUnity
December 6, 2024 – January 11, 2025
Debra Robert’s ceramic sculptures externalize her private thoughts, embarrassing truths, frustrations, and hopes in coping with multiple sclerosis. Ranging from disciplined abstract forms to biomorphic expressions and playful, humanistic figures from 9 inches to over 5 feet high, HumanUnity explores the idea that the more we see ourselves, the more we can see through to one another.
Judy Horowitz: The Painting Always Tells A Story, You Just Have to Ask
January 17 – February 22, 2025
Judy Horowitz’s paintings span 20 years, with styles that vary yet consistently explore human emotions, relationships, and moments in time. Her preference for oils allows for a versatile expression, with opaque to translucent layers, impasto textures, and vibrant colors, each painting revealing its own story through the interplay of mood and emotion.
