Across the Threshold celebrates a quarter-century of the region’s most intimate and enduring artistic tradition.

Featuring a curated selection of works from across the studios, the exhibition reflects the grit and collaborative spirit that have defined our neighborhood for decades. From the original artists who first welcomed the community into their workspaces to the new generation currently expanding our boundaries, this showcase tells the story of a creative community built from the ground up. Join us as we celebrate 25 years of artistic transparency, mentorship, and the enduring legacy of the makers who call this region home.
