Don't Miss The Final Days of "Chronicles of Earth’s Resilience: Fauna & Flora"

updated 05.26.26: The exhibition “Chronicles of Earth’s Resilient Flora & Fauna” at the Midway Gallery is coming to a close May 28th.

This exhibition is a breath of fresh air in our complicated world. The artists explore both the fragility and the resilience of the natural world through paintings, installations, textiles, videos, and ceramics. Landscapes, plants, and animals, both real and imaginary, take center stage. Together, these works invite us to reflect on the changing conditions of our environment and the enduring strength of the ecosystems that sustain life.
