Of and between objects and things

First Friday, October 2nd, 7-9pm

Mead invites us to look again—at the familiar, the historical, and the spaces that exist between what we recognize and what remains elusive. Through photography and sculpture, she reimagines iconic nineteenth-century works, including Hiram Powers’ The Greek Slave and Richard James Wyatt’s Nymph Entering the Bath.

Her work creates a dialogue between past and present, object and image, fragment and whole. What begins as an examination of sculpture becomes an exploration of perception—asking us to consider how context, perspective, and the passage of time shape the way we see.

Come experience the exhibition, meet fellow art enthusiasts, and spend an evening in conversation, discovery, and inspiration.

Special Event in the Gallery

Art, Architecture and Appetizers

Join us for an intimate evening where art, architecture, food, wine, and design come together in one memorable experience.
Our evening begins with a gathering in the gallery followed by a short trip to Huffman Black, a remarkable historic home that offers a glimpse into Dayton’s architectural past. From its distinctive character and craftsmanship to the stories held within its walls, the home provides an inspiring setting to explore the connection between architecture, art, and the way we experience a place.
Enjoy thoughtfully selected wines from Joui Wine, paired with curated appetizers from Saltblock Biscuit Company, while Plum Vintage Barware adds a touch of timeless style and elegance to the evening.
This experience is about more than simply seeing beautiful things—it is about conversation, discovery, and connection.
