The 2026 exhibition year opens with two concurrent solo exhibitions, each independently curated, bringing together distinct artistic voices in a thoughtful and dynamic pairing:

​

Judith Hoyt: Reimagining the Past

Francois Deschamps: From an Island in the Sea

​April 25 - May 17, 2026

Opening reception: Saturday, April 25, 5:00-7:00 PM​​​​​

​

​JUDITH HOYT

Reimagining the Past

Hoyt’s work, spanning over four decades, is rooted in the transformation of found materials—weathered metal, fragments of paper, and remnants of printed imagery—into richly textured collages. Her practice embraces history as a living presence, allowing each piece to carry the traces of time, use, and memory. In this new body of work, she revisits her own earlier prints, cutting and reconfiguring them into fresh compositions that bridge past and present.

FRANCOIS DESCHAMPS

From an Island in the Sea

For nearly forty years, Deschamps has worked from a summer studio on a remote island off the coast of Maine, creating poetic assemblages inspired by the life, materials, and stories of that place. Often presented as glass-enclosed boxes, these works echo the tradition of Joseph Cornell—intimate worlds constructed from found objects, where meaning emerges through association, memory, and time. As Deschamps describes, each piece is “a visual poem of materials,” shaped by the island’s landscape and its layered human history.
