This collection features work created by artist Nathaniel Ruleaux as he navigates identity, history, culture, medium and practice. Moving between mediums of painting, ceramics, drawing, photography, digital art and animation, Ruleaux navigates and explores different forms of expression while searching for answers about life across the Great Plains.
Join us for a closing reception Saturday Aug 24 from 11AM-1PM.
