Where We Are | July 22-September 16

Art has the power to build bridges, deepen relationships and transform us—if we have the courage to let it.

This transformative power is explored in the vivid exhibition Where We Are featuring three local artists: Marilyn Cummins, Jenny McGee and Stacia Schaefer.

Each used their chosen media and the creative process as a way to adapt and reflect on their various seasons of life and the challenges of facing the unknown. The works in watercolor and mixed media reflect the trials of recent years as well as the artists’ hope for the future.   

Join us to enjoy Where We Are and explore how your current season is shaping you.

Opening Reception | July 27, 5:00-7:00 p.m.

Join us from 5-7 p.m. on Thursday, July 27 to celebrate Where We Are. Light refreshments and beverages will be served. No RSVP required. 

Artist Talk: Stacia Schaefer | August 2, 7:00-8:00 p.m.

This is an opportunity to hear from artist Stacia Schaefer herself! Schaefer will share about her artwork, her inspirations and her process. Come out, stop, look, reflect on and share Where We Are together!

Artist Talk: Marilyn Cummins | August 23, 1:00-2:00 p.m.

Be inspired by Marilyn Cummins’ watercolor demonstration as she shares how her art is a creative outlet for processing experiences – illness, loss, isolation and even new opportunities. This behind-the-scenes look into how we can all ponder questions about “where we are” is a must attend event!

This exhibition was made possible with support from Columbia’s Office of Cultural Affairs, the Missouri Arts Council and BCHS members and donors like you.
