Gabby Giffords
a conversation on gun safety
Friday, October 18
“Since our founding in 2013, Giffords has helped write, pass, and enact legislation that is reducing gun violence and saving lives. Against fierce opposition, we have helped pass more than 290 new gun safety laws in 45 states and Washington, DC. In the last year alone, 27 states passed 67-gun safety bills – including strengthening background checks, banning bump stocks, enacting extreme risk laws, closing domestic violence loopholes, and more – making this one of the most momentous years in the history of the gun violence prevention movement. Now, more than ever, we must continue to push at the state and federal level and continue to reduce gun violence in our country.”

Zack Wirsum
Chance Aesthetics
Clarence Morgan and Zack Wirsum shared interest in the language of abstraction is also the starting point for their different approaches. Complex systems of patterns, geometric relationships and layering of line are employed by both artists. While a “chance aesthetics “ or randomness and unpredictability, as Clarence Morgan writes about his work, demarcates how the works are both viewed and interpreted, the figures entangled in Zack Wirsum’s work open the possibility for free association within the specific visual cues of abstraction.

1943 – 2014
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Margaret Wharton on the morning of January 20, 2014. She had been sick since last Fall and died peacefully in her sleep.
Margaret was an amazing woman in so many ways and her spirit will live on.. Her creative and intelligent artwork, her insightful wit, and her caring personality and spirit will be remembered and missed by all – especially her children, Darby and Greg, their spouses Jimmy and Kristin, and her grandchildren who she adored.
