KILLJOY takes us back to a time where empathy, kindness, and play were easy and asks: as we age, is our kindness tested?

In this group show, local artists Meag Hepp, Seline Smith, and Cal Rice evoke different life stages and suggest the erosion of empathy over time. What impact does a lifetime confronting harsh behaviors have on our innate capacity for understanding others?

With pops of color and humor, pet rocks and surreal dreams, guest curator Ola Aksan combines sculptures and paintings to question compassion and conflict, joy and memory. Learn more about the exhibition here.
