TAG Gallery presents the OPENING RECEPTION of featured solo artists

Eren Alptekin weaves memory, observations of place and human connection into abstract works, textured, layered and luminous in color and light; Barry Jackson captures the unique psychological power of the human figure - "a vessel for the unconscious—summoning thoughts and projections shared from artist to viewer"; Joo Park-Kwon's silk and hanji paintings are meditations on "interconnectedness" through time honored Korean techniques; Joe Pinkelman's ceramic forms - cairns - "are metaphors of direction and salvation", they are records of world events;  Explorers Photography captures "fleeting moments when light, movement and behavior align to show the ocean's complexity and vitality".

TAG Artists present “small works,” a group show that examines how artists distill concept and craft into intimate, small-format pieces.

PAM DOUGLAS AND RAYA YARBROUGH This mother-daughter collaboration transforms what those in power label ‘IMPROPER IDEOLOGY’; into a defiant celebration of truth-telling through art.

IMPROPER IDEOLOGY merges painting, sculpture, poetry, and music into immersive experiences that challenge visitors to inhabit both physical and emotional landscapes. Douglas's mixed-media works don't merely illustrate Yarbrough's poems—they embody them. Text flows across weathered surfaces, intertwines with found objects, and cascades from hanging installations, creating environments where words become tactile and images sing.

Why We Draw the Nude: The Enduring Power of Life Drawing

TAG + Gallery Girls Live Nude Model Drawing Session

Join our figurative drawing sessions alongside dedicated, welcoming artists of all experience levels. Beginners are encouraged. Walk-ins are welcome, and space is first-arrive, first-placed. $33.85 tickets are available on Eventbrite for this event; free for TAG Members.

* Three Timeless Benefits of Drawing the Nude *

1. Sharpened Vision Life drawing hones the artist's eye like no other practice. Observing the nude teaches you to look past assumptions and truly see—gestures, shadows, and proportions with clarity.

2. Human Connection & Emotional Truth The unclothed body expresses more than anatomy—itshows vulnerability, emotion, and character. Drawing the nude invites deep empathy and emotional insight.

3. Artistic Ritual & Shared Practice Figure drawing connects us to centuries of artistic tradition. Peter Steinhart calls it 'a secular form of prayer'—a shared act of focus, presence, and creativity.
