In the 1800s, covered wagons were the backbone of westward migration. These wooden “prairie schooners” carried supplies and people across rough trails, but they depended on iron parts and the skill of blacksmiths to keep them rolling. Broken wheels, worn axles, and loose fittings were common, and blacksmiths were community problem-solvers who fixed broken parts. Visitors will see how wagons were maintained and watch blacksmiths as they shape the tools and hardware that made traveling to the West possible.
FORM & FACE: Abstract Bodies and Masked IdentitiesApril 24th – May 31st, 2026
This dynamic exhibition features the work of acclaimed artists Zarco Guerrero and Kevin Titzer, exploring the intersections of abstraction, the human form, and identity. Through sculptural masks, figurative assemblage, and evocative materials, Form and Face challenges viewers to consider how identity is constructed, concealed, and revealed. Join us for the opening reception on April 24, 2026, and experience this bold exploration of body and persona.
