A look back at the talented artists and incredible works that adorned the walls of the ACM Gallery in 2025. ACM prides itself on a diverse showcase of local artists that empower the creative voices that represent our community. To our artists, THANK YOU and keep creating!

Join us for our next ehxibition opening of Unreliable Witness by @stephanietodhunterart on Friday January 16th, 6-9pm. Featuring immersive works that bring two-dimensional characters to life, Unreliable Witness invites viewers to consider how memory shifts, distorts, and reshapes the stories we tell ourselves. Through playful yet probing encounters, Todhunter asks us to question the reliability of our own narrative lens—and what happens when imagination fills in the gaps. Join for sips, snacks, and play!

I’m still riding the high of last Friday’s opening reception of The Threads That Tie Us. It’s an honor to be included in a show with such talented and inspiring artists. I’m so grateful to everyone who came out to show their support opening night, my heart is full ❤️. The work will be up through March 28th and there will be artists talks and a soul circle, I hope you can join!
