The Harrison Center office will be closed this Thursday and Friday for the holiday, but our online gallery is open.

Last Time in the Basement

Gary Gee’s collection of ceramics and drawings, titled Last Time in the Basement, is now showing in Hank & Dolly’s Gallery. In this body of work, Gee explores the possibilities of what a basement could symbolize, both as a space and metaphorically. “When was the last time you went in your basement?” Gee asks. “Sometimes you forget it’s there–It’s hidden, it's the underworld. A lot of people have basements and their stories have basements. Is it a place where you hide stuff? Where your treasures are? It’s mystery.”

FORgiving Tuesday⎮November 28th

In 2020, feeling painful societal divides, the Harrison Center began inviting community members to take the day to forgive-their families, politicians, and neighbors on FORgiving Tuesday. The Harrison Center has chosen to take a different approach to “Giving Tuesday” by offering opportunities for art-based healing and facilitating interaction with art.

This FORgiving Tuesday will feature Carolyn Springer's Forgiving Sea art, artist Lorie Lee Andrews will make free forgiveness-themed broadside prints on her antique letterpress, interactive art, yoga with LaDonna Goshow, and more!
