I’m disabled and I need to sit and I love to sit. I’ve been dreaming about an exhibition where instead of having to move from artwork to artwork, I could sit somewhere comfortable and have the artwork come to me. So voilà! Here, we have a conveyor belt of artworks surrounded by a variety of seating options.
–Finnegan Shannon
Don’t mind if I do is an experiment in more deeply collaborative exhibition-making, demonstrating how even temporary changes in power structures create pathways of access for visitors, artists, and staff. Curated by Lauren Leving and Finnegan Shannon.

Esther Marie Hall
Our Day Will Come
September 10 - November 27, 2024
Inspired by early American quilts and motifs specific to the Underground Railroad, Sacramento-based artist Esther Marie Hall populates her drawings, paintings, and textile work with representations of freedom: stars, interlocking rings, and the colors of the American flag. By reclaiming symbols that in recent times have become highly politicized, Hall invites viewers to “envision a new world, to contemplate a new flag, that symbolizes the freedom and liberation we aspire to achieve, both individually and collectively.”
