If you haven’t seen our current exhibitions, this is your last chance! Don't miss seeing it before they close on Saturday, May 16. We have Gallery Hours Thursday-Saturday 12-4pm.

We have loved having the beautiful work of Zoe Brester-Pennings and Meryl Engler on our walls - we highly recommend you stop by! Wrapped prints available by both artists - very reasonably priced too.

Slides 1-4 by Zoe Brester-Pennings
Slides 5-9 by Meryl Engler

Buck Soft, the third chapter of the Buck Wilde series by artist Zoe Brester-Pennings is up in the main gallery. Combining elements of printmaking, found object, and the tactility of quilting, this exhibition presents a series of quilted wall hangings that loosely depict the narrative of Buck Wilde.

Also on view in the Waterloo Arts Cafe is When I Become A Tree, works by Meryl Engler . Her hand-carved and printed large-scale woodcuts are nearly 8 feet tall! Dazzling in detail and craftsmanship, Meryl's many depictions of trees, some on hand-made paper made by the artist, are delicate, quiet masterpieces. Not to be missed!
