Curated by the 2026 Spring Galleries Practices Class taught by Austin Pratt, Crossroads features artwork about journeys and pathways - both literal and metaphorical. Crossroads is a reflection on the path of life, road trips and travel. This group exhibition features work about the people and things we find and meet in our lives and considers the journey as important as the destination.
Feb. 24 - March 20
Wild Flower House pairs the paper-based work of Zach Clark and D. Stevens. Together, this work represents a kind of skepticism of images, combined with a resourcefulness and direct approach to art-making found in both of their practices. Clark's snapshot photography and Stevens' casual drawing hand demonstrate an immediacy of voice, while Stevens' razor-sharp collage compositions and Clark's skilled risograph print knowledge share a sustained and sophisticated craft.
Join us for a reception in McNamara Gallery on March 12 from 5-7 p.m.

Two Ends of a Long Line: Anita Maksimiuk and Rachel Stiff
Aug. 28 - Dec. 10, 2025
Two Ends of a Long Line pairs the work of two artists, both engaged in a practice of imaging the landscape, responding differently to ideas of hope, promise, devastation and upheaval. From the atmospheric spaces of the West in Rachel Stiff's paintings to the sites of urban infrastructure and decay in Anita Maksimiuk's textural printmaking, both artists reflect on the idea and physicality of the American landscape, often gritty, charred and glowing.
Anita Maksimiuk teaches printmaking at the University of Arizona. Rachel Stiff is a mixed media artist and tenured faculty member at Western Nevada College in Carson City.
