Step inside The Church on June 21st from 6 to 7:30 PM to witness its latest transformation as The Ark opens its doors for its first public viewing. The 2025 Summer exhibition curated by Eric Fischl, refers directly to the myth of the Deluge: an event of such apocalyptic scale, forewarned, unheeded, and unstoppable, that it appeared it would be the end of all life on earth. However, through human resourcefulness, will, and compassion, the Great Flood marked a new beginning, a do-over… a rebirth. Composed solely of animal sculptures by over 40 international artists of the last century, the exhibition looks closely at man’s relationship with animals, nature, and self.

Our inaugural show of the 2025 summer season “Unbreakable” celebrates the special bond between Mothers and Daughters. The show is especially meaningful as Lisa Perry’s mom passed away recently. Her mom Bacine opened a Gallery in 1969 in the suburbs of Chicago also showing ceramics and other craft. Needless to say, Lisa is following in her mother’s footsteps and honoring her with this show. The idea for a mother daughter show came to Perry after several artists mentioned that they watched their mothers working while growing up and it provided inspiration in their own approach. After discovering five different Mother/Daughter pairs Perry said “we have something special and unique here!” This show is not only a tribute but a trial. We challenged each mother daughter duo to co-create, finding ways to uplift each other’s work and illuminate the dialogue that exists between their practices.
