Leftovers
Every art project has old drafts, scraps and discarded pieces left behind as the final version emerges. Artist Kira Jo Baldwin has taken to calling these things “leftovers,” and they often make up a significant portion of her own artistic works. Baldwin hopes that those who see her exhibition will contemplate the “leftovers” in their own life and what they can create with those things. can be created with those things.

Art is a very personal experience, and people often interact with it in the public space of a gallery. The pieces in this exhibition play on that concept by depicting intimate personal thoughts and experiences while being displayed in a public space. The artists hope that those who attend the exhibition will consider what they keep private in their own lives and reflect on their shared humanity with others who share their private experiences.

The After Hours
Art often finds itself depicting feelings and experiences between the material and the imaginary, and such is the case with this exhibition by art student Samantha Snyder. Of the work in this show, Snyder said, “I’m fascinated with how our imagination naturally finds a way to fill in the gaps. The disjointed condition of the figures, objects and forms in my work takes us to an alternative universe, yet one that is uncomfortably close to our own.”
