Paper & Paste
September 25th - November 8th, 2026 | Entry: By Donation
Opening Reception: Friday, September 25th | 5PM-7PM
Paper & Paste is an exhibition about transformation—how something as simple as a sheet of paper can become a world of its own.
Here, artists fold, cut, layer, and glue to push paper beyond its familiar boundaries. Sheets transform into sculptural forms; cutouts open into delicate windows of light and space. Every surface holds the possibility of a new form. In these works, paper becomes both structure and story, both surface and substance.
Paper & Paste invites you to discover how the simplest of materials can be reshaped into imaginative new stories.
