When I Get Home

When I Get Home

Through depictions of intimate spaces and familiar exteriors, the artists explore the concept of ‘home’—a place of safety, comfort, and nostalgia. This exhibition highlights how creating art bridges the personal and the political, transforming studios into extensions of home where care and creativity intersect.

The Crossing Point

The Crossing Point

"The Crossing Point" is an exhibition featuring artists from all three PASC studios whose artworks represent an acute sense of structure and materiality. Spanning from two-dimensional artwork to sculpture, the artists in this show demonstrate a willingness to experiment beyond mediums, allowing their interests and intuition to guide crossings from paper to clay, from ink to thread and from paint to glue. This show represents a lived world of architecture, toys, props and play. It is flat, soft, drawn, and sewn, and it spans the junction between the manifestation of an idea and the materialization of what spatial form it takes.

Creatives In Control

Creatives In Control

"Creatives In Control" is PASC's first exhibition curated entirely by PASC Artists. The four-artist curatorial team of Lewis Foster, Rodney Hudson, Keisha Miller, and Lauren Williams has selected 21 artworks from their PASC artist colleagues across all three PASC studios. With an unorthodox approach, each curator has chosen to react to the curatorial process through a visual exposition, creating hand-painted murals on the gallery walls, complementing each artwork with playful abstractions, vivid line-work, and watercolor washes. Like an exhibition text, the murals explore each artist-curator's experience of the selected artworks through inspired gestures.
