Side Rail Collective Presents: Heads, Shoulders, Knees & Toes – A Figurative Show in Many Pieces

Side Rail Collective is proud to announce Heads, Shoulders, Knees & Toes, a group exhibition that reimagines the collaborative potential of figurative

art through anatomical playfulness.

Inspired by the classic Surrealist parlor game of Exquisite Corpse, artists will be invited to submit 2D and 3D work depicting individual body parts —

heads, torsos, arms, legs, hands, feet, etc. — which will be curated and installed to create composite "bodies" in the gallery space. The result will be a

collection of whimsical monstrosities that celebrate the diversity of artistic styles, techniques, and perspectives of figurative work within our creative

community. Let’s get weird!

Gallery Open Hours - Softer Lands

softer lands

A Textile Exploration of Stewardship and Landscape

Side Rail Collective is proud to announce Softer Lands, an exhibition that re-envisions our relationship with the environment through the lens of fiber arts. Featuring fibrous landscapes—ranging from abstract to representational—the show challenges the objectifying view of land as a resource, proposing instead a view of the land as kin.

In response to the realities of climate change and fast consumption, Softer Lands highlights the power of slow craft. Artists utilize techniques such as mending, dyeing, and repurposing to explore ecological memory and environmental repair. The title suggests a softening of our own perspective and ultimately, it asks if we can weave a more sustainable future for the rough and beautiful world we inhabit.

Word To A Mother:
May

Word To A Mother:

Explore“the mother” in her various forms—parent, ancestor, planet—in a workshop that weaves personal reflection into Side Rail Collective’s recent gallery shows: Invisible Threads and Softer Lands.

We’ll play in stream-of-conscious writing and erasure poetry, using our own writing and collage to deepen connection to the mother(s) who shape us. Our final act, on this week before Mother’s Day: a letter for a mother, yours or anyone’s (or no one’s).

Perfect for any curious human craving reflection, connection, and play.
