Looking at the Sky

Nina Bailey-Dick’s powerful batiks and collages are a feminist declaration of love for the land, sky, and self; an invitation to embrace both the beautiful and the broken parts of ourselves. This exhibit is a call to action to speak up, take up space, make art, and share vulnerability – skills needed for personal and collective action and healing. 'Looking at the Sky' will be open from Saturday, April 4 to Wednesday, April 29.
