Working With Paper
Paper is a simple material with deceptively vast possibilities. Despite technological advances, paper remains ubiquitous. Whether making lists, notes, letters, or otherwise sharing written information, paper is an object of everyday life. The simple nature of paper is what holds such potential for artists. Works made with paper may be two or three dimensional. They may be drawings, paintings, origami, papier mache, or any number of combinations of practice. Paper as a material and a subject are welcome, though all works must incorporate actual paper. Please no reproductions or ai generated content.

Puppet Making Workshop
Build a Giant: Community Puppet Making Workshop Join Jyl Dittbenner of JylDrawsEveryday and Liz Pieroni of Mosaic Art Collective for a hands-on workshop that’s open to everyone. Together we’ll build larger-than-life puppets to march in the Manchester Holiday Parade! Inspired by the towering cardboard-and-cloth puppets of Vermont’s Bread and Puppet Theater, we’ll learn techniques for making big, bold figures that can be carried or worn. You’ll shape heads and bodies from cardboard, drape them in fabric, and build connection points sturdy enough to last a parade route. You don’t need any experience, just imagination and a willingness to get a little glue on your hands. We’ll provide: cardboard, fabric, glue guns, duct tape, and other glues and building materials. Bring if you have them: extra glue guns, X-Acto knives or box cutters, and spare fabric. An old backpack also makes a great harness for wearing your puppet. Please register in advance so we know how many materials to have ready.
Betray the Dark - Opening Reception
As the lights of the holidays slowly dim we are left in the stillness and quiet of the darkest time of the year. Betray the Dark is an invitation for artists to meet the darkness honestly, what does it feel like to sit inside difficult seasons of the mind and about the moments where the light is found and made. We're not looking for work that only performs pain, and we're not looking for work that rushes to resolve it. We want to see the in-between — searching, surviving, breaking through, holding on. Work that betrays the dark by refusing to let it have the final word. Throughout the month, the gallery will also host community workshops and healing sessions led by mental health professionals and practitioners across a range of modalities, so this show lives alongside real support, not just imagery of struggle. What We're Looking For Original work in any visual medium (painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, mixed media, fiber, printmaking, etc.) Work that engages authentically with mental health — grief, anxiety, depression, resilience, recovery, identity, isolation, connection, or hope Artists at any stage of their career; lived experience matters as much as formal training
