Celebrate new exhibitions

Four people stand in front of a large artwork. It features two tall vertical, plant-like forms in red and black growing against a pink, grid-like background. Behind the plants a figure lays on their side.

All exhibition openings at the Owens are open to the public. They are informal, alcohol-free, social gatherings. Check our upcoming events for more information. We hope you can join us.
