Reception Opening: Consider Fires, Spotlight: Josh Chefitz

Fire consumes. Fire cleanses. Fire transforms. It is destruction and renewal, warmth and warning, a flickering ember, and an unstoppable blaze. It is the flame of revolution, the heat of creation, the smoldering tension before ignition. It is both the light that guides and the force that devours.
In this exhibition, we do not fear fire—we invoke it. We trace its edges, feed its hunger, and question its aftermath. We gather to reflect on the fires that shape us: the ones we tend, the ones we extinguish, the ones we cannot control. Artists, visionaries, storytellers—consider fire. Consider fires. What will you set ablaze? This exhibition is curated by Gina Washington and includes artists Chester Hopkins-Bey, Tanya Kaiser, Kole Robinson Brooks, Yasmeen Kwan, Aja Joi Grant, James Negron, Jeanetta Ho, Mario Tripp, Ellis Walker, Falon Walker, Mckinley Wiley, Lolita Wilson, and Leah Aki Wood. The spotlight artist is Josh Chefitz who will also be exhibiting until March 14th.
