SUMMARY:Beautifully Broken | Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Beautifully Broken\nPresented by ArtHeart\nCurated by Katya Neptune\nOn View June 5 – July 25\, 2026\nOpening Event and AW Re-Opening Celebration\, June 5th\, 5 – 8pm\nFeatured Artists: Lori Arbel | Dave Buschemeyer | Moises David | Gregory Dirr | Chenco Gomez | Amanda Madrigal | Pablo Matute | Jose Mendez | Aurora Molina | Katya Neptune | Kim Noble | Felisa Prieto \nThe group exhibition challenges the stigma surrounding mental health while inviting reflection\, empathy\, and connection. While not all individuals live with a formal diagnosis\, mental health constitutes a universal dimension of human experience. Although one in five Americans lives with a mental health condition\, these experiences often remain hidden behind silence\, shame\, and social marginalization. This exhibition seeks to illuminate these realities. \nThrough intimate and thought-provoking artworks\, Beautifully Broken explores grief\, ageism\, reclaiming personal agency after a mental health diagnosis\, anxiety\, insomnia\, isolation during COVID\, addiction and recovery\, and dissociative identity disorder. The exhibition is the second of its kind\, the first having taken place at the Bailey Contemporary Arts Center in 2019. Both exhibitions examine societal structures that perpetuate fear and exclusion while honoring the resilience\, strength\, and creativity that emerge through vulnerability and healing. \nBy opening a space for dialogue\, the exhibition fosters both individual reflection and collective awareness. It highlights the interconnectedness of mental health and community\, advocating for empathy\, education\, and support as essential frameworks for change. \nExtending beyond the gallery walls\, Beautifully Broken invites consideration of creativity as both a vehicle for emotional expression and a lens for understanding broader social dynamics. The exhibition encourages audiences to reexamine assumptions\, engage in meaningful conversation\, and cultivate more compassionate and inclusive approaches to mental health. \n  \n  \nCover image by Moises David

SUMMARY:When only the void stood between us | Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:When only the void stood between us\nExhibition by Keren Kroul\nJuly 3 – August 22\, 2026\nBack Room Gallery\nOpening event during First Friday Art Walk\, July 3\, 6 – 9pm. Free admission.\nIn large-scale watercolor on paper paintings and installations\, Keren Kroul’s work unfolds in a landscape of memory where time and place collapse into magnificent terrains. Monumental in size while vulnerable in materiality\, the work is a physical representation of the overwhelming helplessness she feels when confronted by a personal and historical legacy of loss and longing\, and the ongoing violence in this country and the world. Inherited memories\, neural networks\, maps\, flora\, and architecture are distilled into units of line and shape. Fragmented and abstracted\, they are repeated\, accumulated\, and layered into dense and detailed passages\, expanding over multiple paper panels. The imagery floats and sinks\, pulsates forward and away\, hovering over empty space. Painted with tiny brushes\, the process is intentionally labored and prolonged\, embedding time into the work. Working on paper\, Kroul thinks of documenting\, bearing witness. The delicate nature of watercolor comes in and out of focus\, recreated as it is remembered. While some images are opaque\, reflecting their solid presence in the mind\, others are a watery wash\, the dissolving of concrete places\, lives\, and eventually\, memories. The beauty of this work rests precariously on the surface. Beneath lies a process of reclaiming\, taking up space\, generating a site not only for her story\, but for all of our stories\, an affirmation that each life is singular and of infinite value\, deserving of human dignity and empathy. \nKeren Kroul examines identity through time\, memory\, and place\, in large-scale watercolor paintings and installations. Born in Haifa\, Israel\, to an Argentinean father and Israeli mother\, Kroul grew up in Mexico City\, Mexico and San José\, Costa Rica. She lives in South Florida\, where she teaches studio art and art history in high school and college. Kroul exhibits nationally and has received support from private and state foundations. Recent awards include a 2023 McKnight Foundation Visual Artist Fellowship (Minneapolis\, MN)\, and a 2025 Artist Residency at the Hyde Park Art Center (Chicago\, IL). Kroul’s work has been featured on television in MN Original (TPT-Twin Cities PBS)\, and in print publications including Paint Lab\, Color Lab\, Tangled Art\, New American Paintings\, and The Southern Review. Kroul holds a BA in Fine Arts from Brandeis University (Waltham\, MA) and an MFA in Painting from Parsons School of Design (New York\, NY).
