Beard Gallery | More Is More Is More Exhibit
On view during gallery hours
More Is More Is More: A Melody of Maximalism presents a vibrant group exhibition featuring works by Nichol Brinkman, Niki Dionne, Ivette Ramos Levy, and John Storm, celebrating bold expression, layered narratives, and the expansive possibilities of maximalist practice.
Bringing together soft sculpture, fiber, painting, ceramics, collage, and mixed media, the exhibition explores identity, memory, humor, and everyday life through richly detailed and immersive works. Each artist embraces abundance—of material, color, and meaning—inviting viewers into dynamic visual worlds where excess becomes intention and storytelling unfolds through accumulation.
Select works are for sale.

Flora Cameron Gallery | A Season of Bloom
On view during gallery hours
A Season of Bloom draws from the Flora Cameron Collection to explore florals as both subject and symbol—expressions of growth, beauty, fragility, and renewal. Featuring works by Lê Phổ, Leon Gaspard, Bernard Buffet, Gustave Baumann, Malou Flato, and others, the exhibition presents florals in both literal and interpretive forms. Together, these works reveal how artists across styles, eras, and cultures have turned to nature as a source of inspiration and emotional resonance.
The Flora Cameron Collection is sponsored in part by Central National Bank.
