Installation view
See Imago exhibiting artists' work in a new light. “Constellations,” offers a rare opportunity to experience the richness and variety of work produced by IFA artists presented as if in dialog on a single wall.
“Each artist’s piece is a distinct presence within our creative universe, yet together they form a constellation — a shared vision greater than the sum of its parts.”
— Exhibition Facilitator Mary Dondero
The exhibition includes a focus on IFA Spotlight Artist Jim Cain, two guest artists—Sylvia Vander Sluis who transforms materials into immersive experiences and painter Jonathan Garcia, who creates evocative scenes infused with light and atmosphere, and other artworks by IFA exhibiting artists on display throughout the gallery.

Imago Film Club
Ongoing in the gallery: Thursdays, December 11 | 6:30–8 PM | Free
Learn, share, and discuss with fellow film enthusiasts in the gallery. This month we will continue our discussion of early film that, through trial and error, developed editing techniques and strategies that visually express a story. From these discoveries in editing distinct cinematic styles emerged that remain influential today. All are welcome and participation is on a drop-in basis. Bring a friend!
The still is from “Life of an American Fireman”, Directed by Edwin S Porter, 1903
