CLOSING RECEPTION

FRIDAY, NOV 6, 2026 | 6-9 PM

Pierce Street Art is pleased to announce its fall group show “Cross Current,” Shawn Ballarin • Baylee Bennett • Brendan Bishop • Mina Bolduc • Sarah Craw • Taylor Daniels • LJ De La Cruz • Hannah Demma • Lizz Dyer • Tess E Petersen • Dianne Fago • Kim Goldberg • Frank Hiffernan • Kelsey Janda • Courtney Kenny Porto • Jerry Kinney • Mary Koziol • January Kristine • Kate Laing • Jean Mason • Brad Michael Marr • Emily Mohr • Sarah Parys • Ilaamen Pelshaw • Kristae Peterson • Cindy Rae Mathiasen • Bryan Raymundo • Makenzie Raymundo • Jill Rizzo • Gady Tene • Kathleen Van Lieu • Bart Vargas • Brian Wetjen • Samantha Wicht . The show runs October 9 - November 6..

The show brings Nebraska-based artists working across media into conversation about what it means to make work at this current juncture, in this particular place. The works featured are as diverse as the artists who make up the vibrant tapestry of the city. Rather than a shared theme or viewpoint, they’re united by the clarity of their distinct visions. Some of the works on view take the outside world as inspiration, with landscapes that capture nature’s changeable moods and ephemeral beauty. Others wrest pattern from the realm of flat abstraction, suggesting its tactile possibilities, or move off the wall entirely. “Cross Current” tests what happens when these vibrant, eclectic approaches to making are placed in dialogue.

Pierce Street Art is an artist-run space dedicated to supporting contemporary art and fostering creative exchange. Founded as an extension of Shiri Phillips’ working studio, the gallery serves as a flexible platform where artists can present their work, share ideas, and connect with the community.
