CURRENT EXHIBITIONS
“Inheritance” is a retrospective encounter showcasing works spanning over four decades by gourd artist, Michele Tejuola. Due to a positive response from the community, Tejuola’s solo exhibition has been extending through October 4, 2025. Each piece recounts personal and collective narratives, elevating the traditional craft of gourd art into a fine art form. Through intricate figuration and design, Tejuola addresses themes of race, motherhood, and femininity, creating a visual vocabulary that transforms her medium into a powerful storytelling tool. This exhibition is more than a celebration of artistry, but a timely tribute to resilience and remembrance. As the city prepares to honor Juneteenth, Tejuola’s work, coming from Fort Worth, adds a vital voice to the conversation, embodying the spirit of liberation and the enduring strength of Black communities nationwide. Presenting this show during such a historic moment amplifies its impact, transforming the gallery space into a site of cultural reflection, healing, and pride.
