Something Else Is There
Something else is there - and it’s quietly powerful.
Our Spotlight Room is now home to a solo exhibition by guest artist Yuley Buist. These works are deeply considered, the kind of art that rewards slow looking and leaves you feeling changed. If you love work that sits somewhere between the seen and the felt, this exhibition is for you. Come meet the work, bring a friend, and let yourself feel!
