    *OPENS on Friday, March 20 from 6-8pm*

    We are excite to present Sculptural Storylines: Work by Jan & Mark Wiesner. This exhibition will be on display in the Kennedy Gallery from March 20 to May 16, 2026.

    Jan & Mark Wiesner are two sculptors and a married couple who work in very different mediums, united by a shared artistic response shaped through mutual cross-pollination and exploration. Each tells a distinctly different version of the same story through their own form.

    Jan Wiesner finds inspiration from overheard phrases and fleeting remarks, treating them as seeds for sculptural storytelling. As an “author in clay,” she gathers and mines these words for emotion, linking works into a series infused with humor and insight. Through this process, hidden thoughts and actions are revealed, and the power lies in the telling of the story.

    Mark Wiesner reflects on mortality and works with cardboard, a universal material that has shaped their life since childhood, building imaginative worlds and storing the remnants of daily existence. Rooted in honesty to reclaimed, discarded materials, he applies meticulous technical rigor to transform the mundane into something magical and harmonious. Through assemblage and appropriation, he resurrects forgotten objects, giving them renewed meaning, rhythm, and beauty within new contexts.

    Opening Reception: Friday, March 20, 2026 from 6 – 8 pm, and it will include free light refreshments

    Artist Talk: Saturday, April 18 starting at 1pm with free light refreshments.

    All events are Free and Open to the Public.

  • We’re All Healing: Tending to the Wounds We Were Taught to Hide

    • 5 January 2026
    • Posted By Ellen Muse

    In a world that often demands our resilience before our rest, We’re All Healing invites vulnerability as an act of resistance. Where there is transparency, there is healing; where there is healing, we can continue to blossom.

    This exhibition is an authentic conversation through visual storytelling, examining the harmful ideologies surrounding mental health in Black and marginalized communities. It holds space for what is often considered taboo, softened, hidden, or dismissed. We recognize that within our communities, the language for pain has not always been taught, yet the expectation to pack it away persists as our collection of unspoken pain continues to grow.

    We’re All Healing is not simply about what hurts — it is about what happens after the silence breaks. The journey is not meant to be linear, but it must begin. Allow this to be a place that reminds us it’s okay to feel, to name, and to start again.

    Exhibiting artists: Jamaal Durr, Tobi Ewing, Trudy Gaba, Erin Smith Glenn, Ciara LeRoy, Gift Mayambi, Romain Mayambi, James Pate, Dave Scott, Kimberly Wilfong Sigman.

    Join us for the Opening Reception on Saturday, January 31st from 6:00 to 8:00 pm in our Lindner Annex Gallery, 6620 Montgomery Road.

    We’re All Healing is part of the 6th Annual Voices of Freedom co-presented by Juneteenth Cincinnati. It features ten commissioned works by diverse regional artists. Curated by Zuri Ali.
