Our artists are always making, learning, exhibiting, collaborating, and finding new ways to share their work beyond the walls of Hot Shops. Here’s a look at what some of our resident artists have been up to recently.

Kristine Hansen-Cain Solo Exhibition
“The View from Here,” a solo exhibition by Kristine Hansen-Cain is on display in the LALA exhibition space at Millwork Commons from September-January.
Kristine utilizes unexpected vantage points to encourage individual exploration, receptivity, and the influence of our internal narratives on those around us. She begin her paintings from unexpected birds’-eye vantage points to encourage novel ways of thinking, including understanding of diverse opinions and perspectives.
Jackson Gatzemeyer “Artistic Sagas” Exhibition
During the month of October, the Artists’ Cooperative Gallery will be featuring the artwork of Jackson Gatzemeyer along with Nicki Byram and Inna Kulgina. The exhibit, “Artistic Sagas”, will be on display from Tuesday, September 29 to Sunday, November 1. An opening reception will be on Friday, October 2, 6 to 9 p.m.
Jackson is enamored with faces and all the abstract expressions a face can make. The faces he makes are unique, all slightly different yet all very similar. Jack has been practicing the process of lost wax casting and sculptural fabrication since 2017. He likes to have fun and be loose when creating.
