4. Start or Add to His Collection
Looking for a gift that carries meaning across generations? Visit the Art Rental & Sales Showroom to discover original artwork by Studio Lauren James—a collaborative husband and wife team whose work bridges cultural histories and hope for what lies ahead.
Lauren Brevner’s practice draws on her Japanese and Trinidadian heritage and matriarchal influences, while James Nexw’Kalus-Xwalacktun Harry combines traditional Sḵwx̱wú7mesh histories, forms and designs. Their series The Seventh reflects on family, community and the responsibility of thinking seven generations ahead. In 2022, the artists welcomed their daughter Hana Kimiko Kwílayus Harry and envisioned The Seventh as a way to share knowledge and healing with future generations.
When you rent or purchase from the Gallery’s Art Rental & Sales Program—or gift a certificate—you offer a meaningful present that inspires every day and supports artists and Gallery programs rooted in our community.
5. Unleash your creativity with hands-on art activities
Drop in and create your own masterpiece in The Making Place, every Sunday from 11 AM to 4 PM. Try an art-making activity inspired by the exhibitions on view.
We also offer guided Family Tours on Sundays at 2 PM to help you delve deeper into the exhibitions together.
