A New Way of Seeing
Opening Reception: Friday, March 6th, 5-8pm

Iris Goldstein, a long-time member of ARC Gallery is exhibiting colored-pencil drawings at the gallery in March 2026  Goldstein is always interested in the unusual and offbeat. Though she has been committed to nonobjective art, she tries to find visual images that are suggestive and allusive, based on real-life objects or places that are transformed through the artist's imagination.

Meander
Opening Reception: Friday, March 6th, 5-8pm

A path winds its way into the distance, gnarled branches twist their way towards something unseen, cracks are drawn across a stone surface. They are already lines, textures, shapes, waiting to be put down on paper.

Spaces between trees echo broken pavement; concrete floats on the surface, as reflections replace what they reflect. The artwork and its origin are in conversation with each other.

The mind wanders, back and forth, in and around, making connections between what is real, what it perceives, and what it wants to create.

A Lesser Light
Opening Reception: Friday, March 6th, 5-8pm

When reality is filtered through belief, memory, or dread, does it become less true, or more human? A Lesser Light investigates worry, and the ways in which religion and perception construct themselves around it. Finston’s reflections on Jewish folk culture legitimize superstition, holding it sacred for the cultural legacy and promise of safety it provides. By marrying the authority of the printed image with eerie and dreamlike imagery, A Lesser Light examines the fragile architecture of belief, inviting viewers into a space of unknowing.
