* This exhibition runs Mar. 23–May 17, with a public reception on Thu., Apr. 2. *Roxana is a collage artist fascinated by the art of collage.

* This exhibition runs Mar. 23–May 2, with a public reception on Sat., Mar. 28. * Kimberly Margioni’s work explores the delicate balance between nature, emotion, and cultural heritage. Drawing inspiration from the world around her—the vibrant landscapes or the quiet beauty of everyday moments—she seeks to capture the essence of life in its raw, unfiltered form. Her creative process is rooted in the belief that art has the power to transcend boundaries and speak directly to the soul. Each piece reflects her travel journey, an invitation to feel deeply and connect with the universal experience of love, resilience, and transformation. As a current naval officer and mechanical engineer, she brings a unique perspective to her art, breaking from the rigidity of her day-to-day to dive into her abstract, fluid, imperfect approach with emotional depth. This creates both structured and fluid works, grounded yet ever evolving.

Message is not your typical concert series. It is an oasis where local artists find their voice and share their stories. Here, music transcends mere entertainment – it becomes personal. Local talent takes center stage. These are the musicians who play at the neighborhood cafes, scribble lyrics on napkins, and dream big. They’re not chasing fame, they’re chasing connection. From soulful ballads to introspective rap, their performances resonate with authenticity. Every Message event is unrepeatable, no two shows are alike; each carries a unique message. The audience sits close enough to see the artist’s fingertips on the strings and feel the raw emotion in every lyric. This is an event for anyone seeking refuge from the noise, who craves more than a passive concert experience.
