Happy New Year!
At Light Art Space we look forward to a year where ART provides hope, joy, and beauty… a counterpoint to our difficult times.
We hope you will join us in celebrating the power of creativity and community.
In January, the gallery is open on Fridays and Saturdays, 11 – 5, and by appointment.
We are currently featuring LAS ELEVEN 2025, work by Light Art Space artists AND the Flash Gallery, The Forest in Our Blood: a new collection of jewelry by Rhonda Munzinger, and Dancing with Tradition, hand-dyed and woven clothing referencing traditions of many cultures, by Susan H. Porter.
Rhonda’s new collection illustrates the unity of humans and trees. Crafted from fine silver, with deer-bone-carved faces and exquisite gems, it is inspired by the trees of New Mexico.
Susan’s work is an homage to traditional clothing from various cultures, utilizing less traditional fibers and dyes to create more modern garments. The inspiration for the pieces displayed here comes from the indigenous cultures of the Southern Americas and East Asia, thus honoring their traditions.
We are excited about our 2026 programing. Here is what is up next…
