Itza and Hue Hue - Dreams at Play

Solo show by New Mexico based artist Pamela Enríquez-Courts 

Opens online April 25, 2026

Welcome to the world of Itza (eet-zah) and her pup pupil, HueHue (wey-wey).

Itza is a teacher and trainer of the Xoloitzcuintle (shoh-loh-eets-kweent-lee) dogs, and it is her job to show them how to become leaders and thinkers so that they can successfully fulfill their promise of becoming trustworthy guides for those souls passing through the afterworld of Mictlan (meek-tlan).

In these paintings Pamela has crafted in pictures, the story of Itza teaching HueHue about the heritage of his land that is filled with beautiful and terrifying tales of angry and benevolent Gods of this Earth and beyond.

These paintings will soon become part of Pamela's first book.

Eight Arms to Hold You 

Solo show by PA based artist Nora Thompson of The Rots

Opens online May 23, 2026

About the show: Lately I’ve been wrestling with the same recurring question: what place does making gentle art have in such a difficult moment? How can I justify making it in a world saturated with outrage and despair, and doom-scrolling feeds on urgency and noise?

I’ve come to realize art doesn’t wait for things to get better. It shows up because things are hard. Rather than offering answers, I’m finding my paintings lean into tenderness, care, and presence as a valid response in a moment when those things feel fragile and necessary. My creatures offer resistance by slowing things down. They don’t attempt to explain the darkness. They don’t try to conquer it. But they will sit with you right in the middle of it.

Eight Arms to Hold You is not about escape; it’s about the quiet willingness to stay—with empathy, with thoughtfulness, and with the small comfort of just being held. I’m hoping my paintings invite viewers to pause, to breathe, and to feel held by something strange, sweet, and sincere.

Get Your Own...!

Featured artist Kahla Lewis and friends

Opens online June 20, 2026

"Get Your Own!" celebrates the delightful chaos that happens when territorial critters meet favorite foods that are simply too good to share.  From pets hoarding the tastiest treats to wild animals caught in dramatic food heists, it explores the universal (and sometimes mischievous) desire to protect what we love most.  

Artists are encouraged to play with contrasts, ranging from elegant to the absurd: tiny creatures worshipping oversized desserts, mythical beasts hoarding culinary treasures, pampered pets daydreaming of epic food fantasies, or any other pairing of mouth-watering foods with animals that covet them.  Because when a favorite food is simply too delicious to share, one really must insist that everyone else "Get Your Own!"

Lotería XII, Annual Group Show

Opens online July 18, 2026

La Lotería is a traditional Mexican game of chance, similar to bingo, that uses images on a deck of cards instead of plain numbers. There are 54 images; each has a name and an assigned number. The cards are very colorful and the imagery on them is broadly recognized in all of Mexico, other Latin American countries, as well as European nations.

The most recognized version of La Lotería is the “Don Clemente Gallo” rendition which was introduced in Mexico in 1887 by the French businessman, Don Clemente Jacques. The owners today own the registered trademark and have continued this version through 3 generations with the original artwork remaining the same.

All 54 images of the original deck will be represented in the show as well as 54 additional cards from a second set numbered 55-108. These works will be small in size.
