IT’S NOT ALWAYS BLACK & WHITE APRIL, 2021 - APRIL, 2022
The “It’s Not Always BLACK and WHITE” exhibit was a conceptual demonstration of this age-old saying. Through an assortment of contemporary glass artworks executed in shades of black and white, viewers were able to further explore the artist’s intent beyond the physicality of the works. Through the subtle use of complex imagery, the relevance of symbols and the diversity of subject matter our guests were able to experience for themselves what was “hiding amongst the gray”.
The works curated for the “It’s Not Always Black and White” exhibit were selected from the TJF Collection intended for Imagine Museum.

Marlene Rose October 27, 2020 - January 3, 2021
Marlene Rose has been creating her distinctive cast glass sculptures for three decades. Working from her local Studio, she appeals widely to a national and international audience.
This retrospective show, POSITIVE REVERSALS, reflected first on the technique she uses, where positive molds pressed into sand create negative shapes which are filled with molten glass.
Secondly, and more importantly, the show culminated in her latest series, TALKING HEADS, where she explores a deep dialogue between imagined opposites, and the positive effects of the reversals of life to which we are all subject.

PIVOT was the first international IM Call-to-Artists exhibition for Imagine Museum. PIVOT demonstrated works that represented “a change in strategy, direction or expression that communicates a shift in the artist’s development of the work.” The aim of the exhibition was to display art that represented a bold, new pat of expression by the artists and communicated a shift in a visual exchange between artists and the viewer.

KAREN LAMONTE | FLOATING WORLD January 24 - December 29, 2019
Karen LaMonte is an American artist whose works express themes of presence and absence, beauty and ephemerality, through the physicality of the human body and its environment. Throughout her work, LaMonte explores the cultural identity, as well as the boundaries of self and society through the dress form.
Floating World was a sculpture exhibition featuring life-sized kimonos cast in glass, ceramic, bronze, and iron. The kimono series was developed from LaMonte’s residency in Kyoto, Japan, where she studied all aspects of the kimono — from weaving and construction to ceremonial function and historic meaning.
