Join us for our latest exhibit: "East of the Yellowstone" where through a series of enchanting and intricate drawings Don Pollack masterfully weaves together the undeniable beauty of nature with the elegance of antique maps for land his grandfather homesteaded over 100 years ago and architectural studies for a never built home created by his father and found after his passing. They capture the essence of his family's legacy and the enduring spirit of the places his father and grandfather poured their dreams into. Each piece effortlessly blends themes of family dialogues, tradition, and permanence, inviting viewers to ponder the coexistence of past and present.

In "East of the Yellowstone," Pollack explores our relationship with nature and the profound responsibility we hold towards preserving it. Memory and mortality intertwine as the exhibition serves as both an ode to the past and a celebration of the present.

As you immerse yourself in Pollack's evocative work, you're encouraged to contemplate what truly makes a home and gives it that feeling of belonging. Through his art, Pollack prompts us to reflect on our own connections to place and the values that shape our lives.

Join us experiencing "East of the Yellowstone," where the past meets the present, and every stroke off the pen is a testament to the enduring power of home.
