Letting Go
Step Down Gallery
May through August 2026
The eight resident artists of Homewood Studios have curated a show of past and current work exploring the notion of letting go. On view through August 2026 in the Step Down Gallery, the show offers painting, fabric and textile work, photography, encaustic and screen prints, poetry and letterpress printing, as well as prepared gourd pieces and encaustics.
Since the founding of Homewood Studios in 1999, there have always been exhibitions in the main gallery and artists in residence in the five studios. Traditionally, the artists have been invited to install work in the back halls, now formally named the Step Down Gallery, to give visitors a sense of what goes on behind the closed doors of the studios. The original (1920) architecture of our building, which follows the slight sloping down as you move west, gives this intimate gallery its name.
Visualizing Words
On Sunday, May 17, at 2 pm in the Big Hill Book Store, resident artist, George Roberts, will join two other local poets, Laura Lockhold and Kurt Mueller, in a public reading of recent work. Each poet is also a visual artist, and a discussion about the intersection of these two ways of working will follow the reading.
