The ASG Art Collective Show- Lake St. Gallery, 413 Lake St. 

The Lake St. Gallery , part of The Agora Borealis at 421 Lake Street, features “Connections” by the ASG Art Collective through August 17. The ASG Art Collective was founded in the Fall of 2018 by Joanna Gifford, Willow

Lanchester, Jessica Sanders, and Lilah Sheperd Ward. Each member of ASG Art Collective works primarily within two fields, ceramics and components. Although their work is highly individualistic, arising from their own research into form and philosophy, the interactions between their works embodies their desire to spur conversations amongst viewers and the art world at large.
It is open Tuesday- Friday 10:00A.M. – 5:00P.M. or by appointment.

Still: Works of Neil Johnson- artspace, 708 Texas St. 

40 years of photographer Neil Johnson’s ‘non-paying’ works are on display at artspace, 708 Texas St. These photos are the ones taken in Neil’s non-paying, non-work moments – taken for pure love of the medium. Johnson’s paths may seem to go in different directions, but, in the end, what has energized and driven him throughout his life is photography – teaching it, experimenting, writing, and living it.
