SUMMARY:20/20 Opening Night with InLiquid
DESCRIPTION:Programming partners InLiquid and TILT present exhibits on our opening night party at the Crane Arts Building while also celebrating Second Thursday\, a monthly event where galleries and artist studios open their doors to the public for an evening of celebrating art. \n​InLiquid No Other Place to Go featuring Anita Allyn\, Richard Boutwell\, Laura Krasnow\, Kaitlin Pomerantz\, and Emma Ressel curated by Katie Tackman \n​No Other Place to Go considers how photography reflects the psychological weight of climate change\, shaped by collective anxiety\, grief\, and uncertainty. The featured work exemplifies photography’s capacity to show what is happening in a world undergoing rapid climatic and ecological change. These images affirm that evidence and emotion are not opposing forces\, but complementary forms of knowledge—together shaping how environmental realities are seen\, remembered\, and acted upon. \n​TILT Institute for Contemporary Image Eco-Social Realism: Historic Mural Activations \n​Mural Arts Philadelphia and TILT present Eco-Social Realism: Historic Mural Activations. The exhibition takes as its starting point four murals within the larger neighborhood around TILT that were produced in the early years of Mural Arts Philadelphia. Those murals include: Forest Green (1996) by Ras Malik\, Cinema Verde (1998) by Dennis Haugh\, Tropical Landscape (1999) by Diane Keller\, and Tropical Landscape with Waterfall (2000) by Ana Uribe. As with many murals of that time period\, these four engaged in the representation of pastoral and garden scenes\, often mixing fantasy with landscapes familiar to both nearby Pennsylvania and the Caribbean\, where many neighbors originally migrated from.

SUMMARY:Piecing it Together Exhibition\, Meet The Maker
DESCRIPTION:An exploration of Philadelphia through art\, Piecing it Together explores two distinct areas of Philadelphia through assemblage. The Wissahickon Valley Park and Kensington District share a similar history: both are ancestral homes of the indigenous tribe\, the Lenni Lenape\, and both were part of the 18th- and 19th-century industrial boom\, with mills and manufacturing dominating. What sets them apart is how these areas fared after deindustrialization. \nThe Wissahickon Valley Park was acquired by the city to protect the city’s drinking water\, eventually transforming it into a protected\, forested natural landmark. While much of the industrial past was torn down\, remnants of the structures remain. Through Joseph Opshinsky’s detailed cut-paper collages\, he captures the trails along the valley\, the reclamation of nature\, and the scars of its industrial past. Beginning with traditional sketches\, Opshinsky’s use of vibrant papers brings the idyllic scenes of the Wissahickon trails to life. \nThe Kensington District\, once known as the “Workshop of the World”\, took a different path in the mid-20th century\, as manufacturing went overseas\, leading to job losses and suburban flight. The area was left with abandoned factories and scattered buildings. Through the rubble of his neighborhood\, Michael Morgan unearthed the shards that would become his Kensington Apotheosis series. Systematically digging up the alley behind his property\, which was the site of a dump from the mid-19th to the mid-20th centuries\, he found old ceramic pipes and dolls\, mostly fragments. Morgan gives these discarded\, broken\, long-forgotten\, buried ceramic pieces a new life inspired by the Japanese practice of kintsugi\, celebrating their broken past.

SUMMARY:First Friday Opening Reception: "From the Earth\, We Rise"
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate the opening of “From the Earth\, We Rise” at The National Old City Apartments\n\n\nJoin us for the Opening Reception of From the Earth\, We Rise! Featuring work by SKimberly Stemler and Nancy Gordon. \nFriday\, October 3rd\, 6p – 8p \n \nAbout the Exhibition: \nFrom the Earth\, We Rise is an exploration of movement and surrender in human nature’s purest form. Showcasing the work of artists Kimberly Stemler and Nancy Gordon\, striving to balance their expression of inspired nostalgia with their colorful brushstrokes. Stemler’s investigative nature draws upon a deeper understanding of connection with her own ancestry\, questioning one’s own identity. Her main subject matter is divided between landscape\, object\, and myth. She draws heavily on the wistfulness of memory\, creating a space for viewers to reflect. Gordon continuously shows a vibrant enthusiasm to break away from the bounds of realism\, and delve deeper into the potential of what abstraction can be. Gaining her influence from the Impressionists\, her work lives in its own natural world. With the work of these two artists\, this exhibition celebrates the everchanging growth of both body and soul. From the way we came to the way we return\, From the Earth\, We Rise reminds us of the joy we can find in the horizon\, until the sun sets on our next tomorrow.  \nLearn More

SUMMARY:Artist Talk with Linda Celestian and Amy Orr
DESCRIPTION:Please join us at 6:00 PM on Thursday\, July 24th\, for a two-person artist talk with Linda Celestian and Amy Orr\n\n\nPlease join us at 6:00 PM on Wednesday\, September 17\, for a two-person artist talk with Linda Celestian and Amy Orr in the Oar Pub\, Park Towne Place. Light refreshments will be served. \nBoth artists are featured in the Park Towne Place Permanent Collection\, which houses over 150 original pieces of art. \nLinda Celestian’s work pulls from her memories and feelings about nature\, while Amy Orr involves the reinvention of manufactured material like plastic. Come learn more about their practice and the Permanent Collection. \nSchedule  \n6:00p | Open doors \n6:15p  | Artist talk begins  \n7:15p  | Tour of the Permanent Collection in the Towne Center  \n \nAbout the Artists \nLinda Celestian grew up in upstate New York. She attended Moore College of Art receiving an MFA in Fashion Design and completed a year of postgraduate study in Painting and Sculpture. After a few years as a designer in the Fashion industry she returned to fine art experimenting with new techniques and materials. \nShe works with paint in its fluid form manipulating it to imitate natural occurrences. \nShe enjoys exploring natural techniques to sculpt her fiber creations\, including nuno felting\, shibori dyeing\, and rust dyeing. Silk has been her preferred material because of its diaphanous qualities. Inspired by nature\, small sculptures are stitched to linen circles like specimens and can be installed as collections. Elegant wearables harken back to her fashion roots. \nHer large\, suspended sculptures command a space while concurrently feeling weightless and free-floating. \n— \nAmy Orr  is a multimedia artist whose work often involves the reinvention of manufactured materials; plastic and plastic cards in particular. The understanding and perception of plastic and ephemera is changing quickly. Where Amy’s work was once a lighthearted narrative about consumerism and culture\, it is now overshadowed by the environmental disaster that our single-use practice has caused. \nAmy is drawn to materials for their color\, abundance and original intent. Whether constructing a patterned composition or figurative mosaic\, the plastic fragments become a sparkling wasteland of personal histories and common stories. With a background in textiles\, Orr’s work can be understood with references to the crazy quilt\, in which fabric scraps are pieced together to create a whole cloth that is greater then the sum of its parts. \nPreviously a tenured professor\, administrator\, designer\, and art publication editor\, Amy Orr is now a studio and street artist. She accepts commissions for portraits\, logos and architectural installations.

SUMMARY:Portrait Photography Workshop with Donald E. Camp
DESCRIPTION:Donald E. Camp joins us at Maja Park to lead attendees through a portrait photography workshop.\n\n\nDonald E. Camp joins us at Maja Park to lead attendees through a portrait photography workshop. Using thermal printing cameras\, Donald will lead guests through the stages of portrait photography\, and guests will get to take their work home with them. Audience members should plan to arrive at 5:30 and stay for the entirety of the workshop\, as Donald will be leading guests through a step by step process.  \n \nDonald E. Camp is one of the photographers featured in the InLiquid Exhibition\, Revelations: An Evolution of Introspection. On view from August 8th – September 27th at the InLiquid Gallery at 1400 N American St. Learn more here.  \n \nAbout the Exhibition:  \nTwenty years ago\, New Orleans underestimated the impact that Hurricane Katrina would have. Once Katrina hit land\, aging infrastructure failed\, and an entire city was thrown into an unimaginable hellscape of flooding waters and crumbling humanity. The United States Government proved institutional neglect and systemic inequalities were\, and are still\, very much a part of the American way of life – especially for people of color. Donald E. Camp and Clarence Williams\, two acclaimed Black photojournalists with Philly roots\, who experienced the devastation first-hand\, alongside poet and spoken word artist\, Ursula Rucker\, reflect on that history in Revelations: An Evolution of Introspection. The exhibition curated by accomplished artist/photographer and cultural activist Lonnie Graham recounts\, photographically and poetically\, the experiences of those who endured Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans.  \n \nRevelations: An Evolution of Introspection includes a haunting series of images captured by Clarence Williams in the days and weeks immediately following Hurricane Katrina’s landfall and the subsequent failure of levees. His photos highlight the sheer chaos of the time for those seeking shelter among the bodies of the deceased who were abandoned. In a more subtle approach\, Donald E. Camp uses mud washed inland from the event for his non-traditional photographic techniques\, using the residue of the disaster to create his photographic portraits. Williams’ and Camp’s different approaches illustrate how artists understand and contextualize the world around them to communicate their ideas. Finally\, Ursula Rucker lends her words in a series of poems\, originally published in her and Clarence Williams’ book “Drown the Devil\,” to convey the anguish of those who experienced Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath. \n \n——- \nThis workshop is part of the Parkway to Park Festival.

DESCRIPTION:Join us for the Reception for ‘Revelations: An Evolution of Introspection’ at InLiquid Gallery\n\n\nJoin us on 2nd Thursday at Crane Arts and get an inside look at Revelations: An Evolution of Introspection curated by Lonnie Graham\, featuring work by Donald Camp\, Ursula Rucker\, and Clarence Williams  \n \nAbout the exhibition:  \nTwenty years ago\, New Orleans underestimated the impact of Hurricane Katrina. After Katrina hit land\, aging infrastructure failed\, an entire city was thrown into an unimaginable hellscape of flooding waters and crumbling humanity\, and the United States Government proved institutional neglect and systemic inequalities were (and are) still very much a part of the American way of life – especially for people of color. Two photographers\, Donald Camp and Clarence Williams\, reflect on that history today in their two-person exhibition Revelation: an Evolution of Introspection at the InLiquid Gallery in the Kensington neighborhood in Philadelphia\, PA. With this exhibition\, InLiquid aims to educate our community and share resources to prevent such tragedies from happening here in the Kensington area of Philadelphia. Ideally\, this artwork and the education our programming will provide can also be shared as a resource in cities throughout the country as global climate change continues to evolve and creates the need for greater emergency preparedness in all areas.  \n \nBoth Camp and Williams share a similar career path\, coming of age as Black men in Pennsylvania and entering the workforce as staff photographers for local news outlets in Philadelphia\, The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin\, and The Philadelphia Tribune\, retrospectively. Through their photojournalist careers\, both sought to ensure agency to the Black subjects they captured so that readers would see Black men presented in more nuanced and dignified ways than just through mugshots\, as was and is still all too common in the representation of these subjects. Though they share a similar origin story\, they both arrived at two very different places in terms of their visual interpretation of the world and the representation of their life experiences.  \n \nRevelation: an Evolution of Introspection includes a haunting series of images captured by Williams in the days and the weeks immediately following Hurricane Katrina’s landfall and the subsequent failure of levees. His photos highlight the sheer chaos of the time for those seeking shelter among the bodies of the deceased who were abandoned. In a more subtle approach\, Camp uses mud that had been washed inland for his non-traditional photographic techniques\, using the residue of the disaster to create his photographic portraits. Williams’ and Camp’s different approaches illustrate how artists understand and contextualize the world around them to communicate their ideas. Through this communication\, we can understand the profound complexity\, resonant effect\, and sublime intricacy of the human experience. \n \nThe InLiquid Gallery is located within the Crane Arts Building\, which is wheelchair accessible. There is limited accessible parking at the front of the building and a ramp leading to the main entrance. The main building door is not automated. Two all-gender bathrooms with multiple stalls are available for use — one with urinals\, one without\, and both with 1–2 wheelchair-accessible stall(s).

SUMMARY:The Luminous Forest  Artist Talk with Lanny Bergner
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an artist talk with Lanny Bergner in conjunction with his exhibition ‘The Luminous Forest’\n\n\nJoin us for an artist talk with Lanny Bergner \n \nInto the Mesh: A Walk Through Nature \nInLiquid\, in partnership with Gravers Lane Gallery\, is pleased to present “The Luminous Forest”\, a fiber exhibition featuring an installation by Lanny Bergner at the Crane Arts Building. A reception will be held on June 12th\, 6:00-9:00 pm\, with an artist talk 5:00 – 5:45 pm. This immersive installation at the InLiquid Gallery invites viewers to explore a meditative world where organic wonder meets meticulous craftsmanship. \nAs a resident of Fidalgo Island\, Washington State\, Lanny Bergner has been inspired by the lush diversity of nature in the Pacific Northwest woodlands for most of his life. Daily nature exposure – whether through forestland hikes or garden walks – nurtures Lanny’s appreciation for the mysterious life force existing around him. \nThis series of work reflects Lanny’s response to that environment. He creates his vision using man-made materials of metal mesh\, monofilament\, wire\, acrylic pigments and glass frit that he flame paints\, knots\, twists and hand models\, transforming these elements into ethereal constructions. \nViewers are invited to enter a forest-like environment expressed through embossed mesh wall panels accentuated with leaf shapes\, as well as with hanging pods containing luminescent biomorphic structures. Wall-mounted basket forms in dialogue with suspended geometric works complete the assemblage and act as codices for the gallery installation hinting at the mysteries of it all. \n \nLanny Bergner has worked with metal mesh since 1983 and maintains a studio on Fidalgo Island\, Washington state\, in the Pacific Northwest. He received his M.F.A. in sculpture from Tyler School of Art\, Temple University\, in 1983 after earning a B.F.A. in sculpture from the University of Washington in 1981. His work is in numerous museum collections including the Renwick Gallery\, Smithsonian American Art Museum\, Washington DC; Philadelphia Museum of Art\, Philadelphia\, PA; Seattle Art Museum\, Seattle\, WA; Museum of Art and Design\, NY\, NY; Fuller Craft Museum\, Brockton\, MA and the Central Museum of Textile\, Łódź\, Poland\, The Woodmere Museum of Art\, Philadelphia & the Abramson Cancer Center\, University of Pa. \nIn 1995 he was the recipient of the Betty Bowen Memorial Award administered by the Seattle Art Museum\, and in 2005 he was awarded a Gold Prize at the Cheongju International Craft Biennale in Cheongju\, Korea. In 2010 he was one of five American artists who exhibited in the 13thInternational Triennial of Tapestry in Łódź\, Poland. \nIn 2023 Mr. Bergner was invited to lend five of his sculptures for display in the “Iris van Herpen: Sculpting the Senses” retrospective at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in the Palais du Louvre\, Paris\, France. After the Paris run in April 2024 the exhibition moved to Brisbane\, Australia with subsequent worldwide locations pending. \nIn addition to his studio practice and exhibition schedule Mr. Bergner has taught workshops at Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts in Gatlinburg\, TN and at Touchstone Center for Crafts in Farmington\, PA as well as at several National Basketry Organization Conferences. Internationally Mr. Bergner has conducted workshops at Geelong Fibre Forum in Victoria\, Australia\, and at Timeless Textiles in Newcastle\, Australia. \n \nARTIST STATEMENT \nLanny Bergner (born in Anacortes\, WA\, 1952) is a mixed-media metal mesh sculptor with a body of work ranging from small basketry to large-scale installations. \nHe creates his sculptural works using industrially woven stainless steel and copper mesh that he cuts into shapes and flame paints with a butane and/or propane torch. He then hand models the mesh creating bas-relief accentuating the flame painted design. With linesman pliers he connects the mesh together transforming the material into \nthree-dimensional semi-transparent biomorphic and geometric constructions. He finishes each piece by hand-stitching seams with coated wire. \nThe resulting forms reference the natural world\, both micro and macro. Plant biology\, undersea creatures\, cellular structures\, earth geology and otherworldly cosmology inspire his creations. His visually intricate works engage the viewer with glimpses into a universe where nature and manmade materials coalesce while celebrating the mystery and wonder of it all. \n \nThe InLiquid Gallery is located within the Crane Arts Building\, which is wheelchair accessible. There is limited accessible parking at the front of the building and a ramp leading to the main entrance. The main building door is not automated. Two all-gender bathrooms with multiple stalls are available for use — one with urinals\, one without\, and both with 1–2 wheelchair-accessible stall(s).

SUMMARY:First Friday Opening Reception: The Hues that Guide Us
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate the opening of The Hues that Guide Us at The National Old City Apartments\n\n\nJoin us for the Opening Reception of The Hues that Guide Us! Featuring work by Sandi Neiman Lovitz and Val Rossman. \nFriday\, June 6th\, 6p – 8p \n \nAbout the Exhibition: \nThe Hues that Guide Us is a dynamic exhibition that explores the impulsive and persuasive power of color\, featuring artists Val Rossman and Sandi Neiman Lovitz. Both artists share an intrinsic connection to the language of color\, using it as a conduit to explore and express deeply personal experiences. Rossman’s work is a blend of careful planning and unpredictable disruptions\, where layers of painted shapes\, empty spaces\, and marks represent the constant interplay between control and chaos in life. Her process\, filled with vibrant color and spontaneous gestures\, reflects a joyful and adventurous exploration of the self\, rooted in the belief that beauty\, joy\, and quietude are essential in navigating a turbulent world. \nLovitz\, similarly\, channels the transformative power of color to create expressive\, spontaneous works that embody hope\, happiness\, and empowerment. From her early infatuation with a robin’s egg blue to the revelation of abstract art by Franz Kline\, Lovitz has always been driven by color’s ability to transcend the limitations of words. Her paintings are layered with rhythms and bold bursts of color that invite the viewer to engage in a conversation of their own\, tapping into feelings and stories beyond the surface. In The Hues that Guide Us\, both artists celebrate the unexpected and transformative possibilities of color\, inviting us to embark on our own visual journey\, where intuition\, emotion\, and creativity merge. \nLearn More: \nhttps://www.inliquid.org/satellite-events/the-hues-that-guide-us

SUMMARY:A quiet roar
DESCRIPTION:The opening reception for A Quiet Roar at the May 28\, 6 to 8 pm at the Hyatt Centric.\n\n\nA CELEBRATION OF QUEER ARTISTRY:  \nA QUIET ROAR OPENS AT HYATT CENTRICPride Month Exhibit Features Bold Works By LGBTQIA+ Philly Artists  \nKeith R. Breitfeller\, Brian David Dennis\, and Patrick Michael Carrow \n  \nPHILADELPHIA\, PA (May 14\, 2025) – Hyatt Centric Center City Philadelphia\, the upscale lifestyle hotel in Rittenhouse Square\, is continuing its annual Pride Month celebration with the opening of A Quiet Roar\, a multidisciplinary exhibition curated by InLiquid\, featuring the work of three Philadelphia-based LGBTQIA+ artists: Keith R. Breitfeller\, Brian David Dennis\, and Patrick Michael Carrow. The exhibit runs from May 15 through July 14\, with an opening reception on Wednesday\, May 28 from 6–8 PM. \n \nThe public is invited to celebrate the opening of A Quiet Roar at the May 28 reception from 6 pm to 8 pm\, where guests can enjoy complimentary light bites from Patchwork Restaurant and pay-as-you-go cocktails from the adjacent bar. All artwork and accessories on view will be available for purchase. \n  \nA Quiet Roar invites guests to reflect on themes of interconnectivity through color\, form\, and materiality. This multidisciplinary exhibition brings together the work of three Philadelphia-based LGBTQIA+ artists—Keith R. Breitfeller\, Brian David Dennis\, and Patrick Michael Carrow—whose practices are united by a deep\, intuitive understanding of how objects and ideas relate. From hyper-saturated pointillist canvases and emotionally charged installations to sustainable fashion accessories crafted from upcycled textiles\, each artist channels personal history and material sensibility into a broader meditation on connection. Whether in the shared studio practice of Breitfeller and Dennis\, or the tactile storytelling embedded in Carrow’s handbags\, A Quiet Roarmakes space for introspection and joy in equal measure. \n  \nArtists Keith R. Breitfeller and Brian David Dennis\, partners in both life and art\, offer a cohesive visual dialogue grounded in contrast and complement. Breitfeller’s paintings—comprised of countless individual dots in shifting color palettes—are influenced by pointillism and modernist composition\, seeking a meditative stillness amidst sensory overload. Dennis’s multimedia installations\, often built from salvaged materials\, are energetic and transformative\, drawing attention to the overlooked textures of everyday life. His work merges spontaneity with formal precision\, guided by influences ranging from Josef Svoboda’s theatrical set design to the emotive intensity of Francis Bacon. Patrick Michael Carrow\, founder of Patrick Michael Accessories\, contributes a tactile dimension to the exhibition with his one-of-a-kind handbags crafted from surplus fabric swatches. With a discerning eye for pattern\, texture\, and proportion\, Carrow allows the materials themselves to guide his design process\, celebrating sustainability and individuality through wearable art. \n  \n“We’re proud to continue our partnership with InLiquid and to present A Quiet Roar during Pride Month\,” said Elizabeth Fricke\, Director of Sales and Marketing at Hyatt Centric Philadelphia. “This year’s exhibit showcases the quiet strength\, creativity\, and dialogue shared between artists who approach their practice with intention and love—both for their craft and for the community.” \n

SUMMARY:First Friday Opening Reception: Echoes of Change and Origin
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate the opening of Echoes of Change and Origin at The National Old City Apartments\n\n\nJoin us for the Opening Reception of Echoes of Change and Origin! Featuring work by Deborah Moss Marris and Demetra Tassiou.  \nFriday\, February 7th\, 6p – 8p  \n \nAbout the Exhibition: \nEchoes of Change and Origin presents a compelling exploration of humanity’s complex relationship with the natural world. Featuring the works of Deborah Moss Marris and Demetra Tassiou\, whose layered approaches uncover profound narratives of transformation\, memory\, and connection. \nMarris delves into the urgent themes of climate change and pollution. Through meticulously layered images of nature and animals\, her work juxtaposes the beauty of the natural world with its fragility in the face of atmospheric and environmental degradation. Her pieces evoke a visceral sense of how external landscapes mirror the internal\, the shifting climates within us shaped by a planet in flux. \nIn contrast\, Tassiou\, a Greek-American artist\, turns inward to reconstruct her ties to her homeland. Her abstracted\, memory-driven compositions layer impressions of natural scenes\, offering a dreamlike reimagining of a place both lost and retained in her psyche. Her work invites viewers to consider how landscapes are not merely physical spaces but repositories of identity\, nostalgia\, and cultural heritage. \nTogether\, these artists illustrate the dualities inherent in our interaction with nature: external versus internal\, global versus personal\, degradation versus preservation. Their shared use of layering serves as both a technique and metaphor\, symbolizing the interconnected strata of memory\, identity\, and environmental impact. \nThis exhibition not only highlights the unique approaches of these artists but also asks critical questions about our shared future. How do we reconcile the past with the rapidly changing present? What responsibilities do we hold as stewards of the environment? Through their layered visions\, the artists prompt us to reflect on the imprints we leave on the earth\, and the imprints it leaves on us. \nLearn More:  \nhttps://www.inliquid.org/satellite-events/echos-of-change-origin

DESCRIPTION:Join us for the Reception for ‘anamnesis’ at InLiquid Gallery in conjunction with the Crane Arts Building’s 2nd Thursday!\n\n\nJoin us on 2nd Thursday at Crane Arts in celebrating the group exhibition anamnesis. \n \nIn anamnesis\, we delve into the intricate tapestry of the human experience\, exploring the profound themes of existence\, memory\, and the interplay of technology with our intimate lives. Featuring five artists: Doug Bucci\, williamCromar\, Zach Mellman-Carsey\, John Singletary\, and Chris Vecchio\, this exhibition invites viewers to reflect on the cyclical nature of life\, the inevitability of mortality\, and the ways we navigate our connections with one another and the world around us. \nThe term “anamnesis\,” derived from ancient Greek\, signifies the act of remembering and recalling past experiences. Each artist engages with the echoes of memory—personal and collective — with a unique connection to technology. John Singletary highlights our origins and the roles we play for each other and ourselves in Traces\, while williamCromar and Doug Bucci interrogate how our recollections influence our interactions with the present and the past through the reimagining of historical art objects. \nIn the other sense of “anamnesis\,” referring to a patient’s medical history\, Bucci’s work dives into the endlessness of living with chronic illness. Zach Mellman-Carsey and Chris Vecchio draw from the physicality of anatomy and its integration with technology through interactive\, and in some cases functional\, sound objects that are only activated by the proximity to one’s body. Depicting infinite cycles\, repetition\, life\, and death\, this intimate exhibition ultimately challenges us to confront our shared humanity and the myriad ways we remember and relate to our existence. \n \n \nThe InLiquid Gallery is located within the Crane Arts Building\, which is wheelchair accessible. There is limited accessible parking at the front of the building and a ramp leading to the main entrance. The main building door is not automated. Two all-gender bathrooms with multiple stalls are available for use — one with urinals\, one without\, and both with 1–2 wheelchair-accessible stall(s).
