Midnight Blooms
Featuring nine young contemporary Black Chicago artists, Midnight Blooms is a show about creativity that unfurls unseen, revealing itself in full only after the sun has set. A metaphor for the invisible labor of the artist, the night as a refuge for the uncommon thinker, and the work and ideas that bloom outside of the societal commonalities under the daytime sun. Midnight Blooms is curated by formerly exhibiting Third City Gallery artist Jeff Rivers, and the first show in our resident curator series.

"Winter Florals" Exhibition
Please join us on Friday, February 6th between 4:00 and 7:00 PM for the opening of our first exhibition for 2026, “Winter Florals.”
The show will explore the idea of “blooming in winter” literally, metaphorically, and emotionally. This exhibition brings together work that considers floral forms as natural beauty subject to vulnerability and transience, and as symbolic metaphors shaped by cultural and lived experience. Some works draw directly from flowers, botanical structures, and plant life. Others reflect on impermanence, social struggle, gender, and identity. Across both themes, we consider what it means to bloom in seasons that are not made for blooming.
