“Xerocks and Potholes” by Lindsay Jones
The natural world remains a continual theme and source of inspiration for Lindsay Jones’ work. Her drawings are a way of making tangible, the subtle intricacies of the natural world which capture her attention. Lindsay addresses multiple intertwined themes in this body of work which include memory, time, nature, and space.
“Analog Nature” by Robert Burch & Rob Borchardt

“Porcelain Quilts” by Dara Hartman
Dara Hartman’s ceramic sculptures and pottery reference the handmade quilts, toys, and clothes that she grew up with that were made by her grandmothers. They serve as inspiration to her latest body of work. These pieces to have a lightness to them, like they’re floating, the cutouts create an unexpected playfulness with light and shadow.
“Grounding” by Louise Deroualle & Molly Frantz
Earth, dirt, dust, mud, clay, soil, ground, land, surface, skin, peel. Earth is the whole, and at its surface we meet the universe. The horizon divides the landscape into two parts — ground and sky. We draw all life from the ground which is fed by the sky. Through the last few years we have all suffered through a global pandemic and have become acutely aware of our vulnerability and the fragile ephemeral nature of life. Now, we are all at another pivotal moment as we find ourselves with a new normal after pandemic. It is a time to turn toward the earth, seek grounding, find weight a sense of permanence and stability.
August 16 - September 19, 2024 (Seeking sponsorships)
“A Love Letter to Indian Creek” by Clarissa Fortier
Clarissa’s first trip to Indian Creek was in August of 2014, not long after her twenty second birthday. She knew that she was in a special place and grew to love Indian Creek just like so many other climbers. But Clarissa is also an artist and an environmentalist. Bears Ears National Monument is an incredibly special place to her, and she’s looking forward to filling this exhibition with paintings that express her ongoing love for it.
“Patterns of Consumption” by Kalliopi Monoyios
Denver-based mixed media artist Kalliopi uses materials that are all found and repurposed plastic, subverting their identities and their purpose to reawaken people’s curiosity about this ubiquitous and versatile material. She takes great joy in surprising people with embroideries made of dental floss, quilts made of single-use-plastic packaging, baskets made of computer cords and plumber’s tape, and assemblages made of chewing gum (yes, gum is plastic!).
September 27 - November 1, 2024 (Sponsored by Robert Schultz Consulting)
“Women (Im)print” by Katie Browne, Bailey Haines, & Ali O’Neal
This group exhibition showcases hand-printed works by three women who are friends and collaborators: Katie Browne (curator), Bailey Haines, and Ali O’Neal. The title is a play on words: printmaking is the mode in which we creatively express ourselves, while the imprints that the people and places in our lives leave on us and that we leave on them provide the basis of our inspiration. Printmaking is a diverse field and we each specialize in different techniques.
“Arts in Society Community Service Print Projects” curated by The Project Shop
This exhibition will be a celebration and showcase of the incredible work by young artists that are addressing staggering issues of societal equality, justice, and health through Community Service Print Projects at The Project Shop, a newly established as a non-profit based in Carbondale that offers arts education through service learning print projects. A long time self funded endeavor, this programming serving young artists has been the passion project of its founder, Reina Katzenberger.
