Nigerian Born Baltimore-based Transdisciplinary Artist, VILLAGER presents ÀṢẸ: Embodying the Divine – a solo presentation of paintings, sculptures, and site-specific installations inspired by the Yorùbá philosophy of ÀṢẸ, using the polychronic concept of energy and vital life force as a cosmic declaration to embody the divine energies that catalyze our existence.

"I have never seen art like this", was a phrase repeatedly coming out of the mouths of the visitors upon opening.

This Hispanic Heritage Month, experience the ecstasy of color, energy, and motion in the show "We Become the Color of Dreams". A series of breathtaking abstracts, where you will feel the full body of the artist creating each piece. This is the first floor exhibit.

This solo exhibition features works by Anne Arundel Community College (AACC) professor Chris Mona, including printmaking projects done in collaboration with Pyramid Atlantic Art Center founder Helen Frederick, who he began collaborating with in 2023. Mona, who also directs the Printmaking Studio at AACC, has received a grant from the Artists Space in New York and two artist awards from the Maryland State Arts Council. His work in painting, printmaking, drawing, and digital media is in public collections and has been shown internationally, nationally, and regionally.
