We Need More Whimsy

PASC presents "We Need More Whimsy", a group exhibition featuring PASC artists from all three PASC Studios. This exhibit invites viewers to rediscover lightness amid a world often weighed down by uncertainty and unrest. Curated by Michigan-based artist Rashaun Rucker, this exhibition ushers in human desires for joy, imagination, and wonder. Through vibrant colors, unexpected forms, and a spirit of experimentation, these works encourage viewers to embrace moments of delight as acts of resilience. In challenging times, whimsy is not a retreat, but a resource — a reminder that laughter, curiosity, and fun are necessary tools for navigating the world around us.

Faces: Alsendoe Owens & James Tischler

"Faces: Alsendoe Owens and James Tischler" is a two-person survey exhibition featuring a new series of artworks by each artist. These two artists are united by bold, layered approaches to portraiture defined by expressive mark-making and vivid color. Owens and Tischler expand the language of portraiture by reimagining the face as a site of transformation, where faces emerge through accumulations of gesture, repetition, and form. Their paintings begin with a reference, ranging from art history, photography, and anime. In addition to both artists’ works on canvas, this exhibit features smaller works on paper by each artist.

Off The Wall

“Off The Wall” is an exhibition at PASC Southgate Gallery featuring artists from all three PASC studios and highlighting works from across the PASC community. Bright and colorful artworks are shown throughout the gallery and activate an immersive physical sensation as if the images are popping off the wall. In this exhibition, color and tone suggest a shift in the season, highlighting the return of colors and the reemergence of animals.
