Look Up

Look Up is an uplifting show that called for creativity and will ask us as visitors to shift our gaze up. What will you see when you lift your eyes and open your heart? Artists were encouraged to dream around this call and share what they saw inside, outside or both. Let’s lift one another as we release gravity’s hold on our visions just a bit. Look up will feature the work of over a dozen local and regional artists January 13 - February 21st. In the time of year when darkness can seem overpowering, let Look Up remind you of the light and air that lies just overhead.

Shaped By Ice

Changing Ecosystems

This group exhibition consists of artists who have worked with and been inspired by the North Cascade Glacier Climate Project. The two week field season in August completed the project's 42nd year conducting annual studies on the same glaciers. This is co-led by glaciologist Dr. Mauri Pelto and the project’s Art Director, Jill Pelto, who has coordinated a variety of artists to backpack into the glaciers and experience the reality of the situation first hand.
The artwork explores stories about how our glacial regions are changing and how these changes deeply impact human and natural communities at many levels, from the loss of freshwater resources to ecosystem shifts.
Glacier loss is a visible sign of climate change. Our goal is to increase awareness, foster curiosity, and inspire personal connections between people and glaciers.
