Opening Reception: Reflections of Grief in Light

Join us as we celebrate the powerful culmination of our Summer Studio Residency with artist Lila Westreich.

Step into a glowing forest of sculpture, where neon light and borosilicate glass reflect the emotional landscape of grief, memory, and hope. This immersive installation explores the tension between nature’s beauty and the irreversible losses we face—both environmental and personal.

Experience the warmth of sunlight breaking through a clear-cut forest, the quiet chaos of mourning, and the shimmering path forward, lit by grief's enduring glow.
