The Hunger to Reclaim Childhood by Fernando Fula,curated by Jamaal Eversley, Gallery 

This exhibit, by portrait painter Fernando Fula, speaks to the notion of reclaiming the innocence of childhood by exposing our sins and showcasing our journey as we wait for salvation to come. It ends with the realization that salvation comes in the form of creation.

Signs of Life by Eli Portman, Main Hall

Eli Portman is fascinated with the concept of perception. Though many of his life’s experiences have left him feeling alone, he strongly believes that we as human beings share many experiences, thoughts, feelings and reactions.

In his work, Portman approaches the dissonance between perceived unique individual solitude in a crowded environment, and the commonality of such feelings.
