Living Arts will be the fourth exhibition and will feature sixty artworks in the Myers Gallery.
Contours of Time
Contours of Time is a three-person exhibition exploring the relationship between landscape, material, and duration, highlighting how artists translate their experience of land and time through distinct material languages.

Bajuyo in the West End Gallery.

Profitopia
Profitopia: A stepmom Immersive Experience is a temporary art installation that was created in collaboration with Factory Obscura in 2024 that transforms stepmom’s EP of the same name into a multi-sensory journey, featuring four distinct environments correlating with a specific song. Participants receive headphones and a QR code to stream the EP guiding them through an auditory and visual journey.

Profitopia invites visitors to delve into a profound experience, blending music, visual art, and narrative. Presented as a corporate campus offering amenities such as a lobby, gym, employee lounge, and a secret lab, the story deepens as participants learn about the dark secret behind the corporation.
Profitopia invites you to imagine a world where corporate greed is obsolete and unbounded creativity flows freely. Profitopia is an immersive experience designed to challenge the systems of late-stage capitalism we face in our everyday lives and reimagine the world as we want it to be. Our vision is to create a space where art, sound, and storytelling come together to spark critical thought and inspire a sense of possibility, pushing boundaries and building a world where every detail invites reflection on the roles we play in society.

Indulgence
Indulgence is often framed as excess. It may appear as decadence, addiction, luxury, intimacy, guilt, celebration, or defiance. Indulgence can also be seen as a well-earned reward, an enjoyable escape, or form of self-care. What is indulgence to you? Is it an escape, a reward, a ritual, or quiet self-destruction? Where does nourishment end and excess begin? Does indulgence liberate the body or entrap it?
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut elit tellus, luctus nec ullamcorper mattis, pulvinar dapibus leo.
The artists featured in this exhibition have each created works that explore the many dimensions of indulgence through their respective mediums. From moments of excess and pleasure to acts of nurturing, desire, comfort, and celebration, these works invite viewers to consider indulgence in all its facets.
“Indulgence” invites the audience to explore what it means to let oneself enjoy without restraint. Through the lens of over 40 talented artists, we can explore what it feels like to give in.
