Our Town After Dark is a photographic series started after Ford Gilbreath and his partner moved to a rural town of eastern Washington in 2018, where the night sky and local surroundings sparked his exploration. The town at night is characterized by a mix of artificial and natural light, with elements of both community warmth and infrastructure decay. Through his lens, Gilbreath captures the contrast between isolation and togetherness, evoking reflections on small-town life.

First Thursday Opening: Jan 9, 5 - 8PM
Zoom Artist Talk: Wed, Jan 15, 12PM (PT)
In Light, In! is a visual essay by Ken Paul Rosenthal that explores society’s struggles with emotional distress, using revised clips from 1950s social hygiene films paired with original compositions by cellist Zoe Keating. Rosenthal aims to foster intimacy with the living world and alleviate suffering through beauty and compassion. With a focus on the tactile nature of cinema, the project challenges notions of authenticity and our perception of reality in an ever-changing media world.
