Amy Discepolo Pop-Up

Reception Gallery: December 4-6, 2026

Inspired by her love of abstract expressionism and her background in mental health counseling, Amy Discepolo’s own art-making has healed many things in her life. Her most recent pieces dream about a place where islands rise or fruit emerges from a palette color study. Even when seasons become prominent players in the work, space/time acts as backdrop and facilitates an eruption of cosmic material. Amy has exhibited at Art Basel and in the Jacksonville International Airport.

Sarah Nguyen

Main Galleries: December 10, 2026 – February 21, 2027

Sarah Nguyen is a mixed media artist, working primarily with paper. Storytelling is central to her large-scale, hand cut fiber panels and paintings. Her work is driven by the images that traditional folktales, contemporary poems, or memorable phrases evoke. Using folklore as the source of her artistic inspiration she means to return the viewer temporarily to a state of childhood, dwelling in the senses, immersed in the images of stories, experiencing the primacy of the physical. Her work has appeared in numerous national and international solo and group exhibitions and publications. Her work has been part of exhibitions in museums and festivals including (but not limited to) Seattle’s Wing Luke Museum of Asian Pacific Experience, the Daum Museum, Pyramid Hill Sculpture Grounds and Museum, the Truman Museum, Cheekwood Estates & Gardens, and Kansas City’s 2018 Open Spaces. She has taken part in a number of artist residencies from around the world as a visiting artist and teacher including Serbia, Bulgaria, Japan, and France, as well as the United States. Sarah received her BFA in Illustration from Rhode Island School of Design and her MFA in Painting from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia.

Liz Canali Pop-Up

Reception Gallery: February 6-8, 2026

"What inspires me? It’s about what is happening around me. It’s about my walks on the ever-changing beach, watching a bunch of baby turtles running toward the sea, imaging what the deep ocean holds, the fish and birds, the sky and the plants that surround me are all part of what I feel when I’m felting."

We must tell stories.
