On October 2, at Roots Music Project in Boulder, we gathered with artists, advisors, and friends of the DAG Foundation to celebrate the 2026 DAG Prize winners and the work ahead. An evening rooted in art, conversation, and the possibilities that emerge when artists have the time and support to create.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and to @rootsmusicproject for hosting.

Reception Wednesday, 10/7 at 6 pm! 🎉

Good Question, an exhibition at The Richard and Dolly Maass Gallery, celebrates the vibrant life of the Painting & Drawing Department at SUNY Purchase in 2026. The exhibition features paintings and drawings by sixteen full-time and part-time faculty members whose teaching experience in the School of Art+Design ranges from twenty years to one semester. The work of these artists shows decades of dedicated experimentation, curiosity, and even bewilderment. When asked to share some “unknowns” they grapple with in their studio practice, they offered some good questions.

From which point do you find the center?
Where does the river begin?
What does the reality of our flux state look like?
Is it in here or out there?

What is a good question? Perhaps it is one born of curiosity, one that mediates inner and outer worlds, one that remains open-ended and leads to deeper inquiry. The exhibition Good Question offers a response in the words of Paul Cézanne: “I will answer you with pictures.”

Being an artist in residence at ISCP in New York City was an honor, a life lesson, and one hell of a ride.

I will be forever grateful to have met these lovely people! And I can’t wait to have time to sit in silence, let everything I experienced and learned there settle, and incorporate it all into my artistic practice.

See you in Korea in September, my friends! 🇰🇷
