April 19-May 10, 2025 | "Future / Past / Presence: The 2025 New Harmony Contemporary Print
Invitational and Exchange"
Co-organized by John P Begley (Contemporary artist, printmaker and founding director, New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art and Printshop - 1975 through 1983) and Brett Anderson (Contemporary artist, printmaker and 91社区 associate professor of printmaking + gallery director, Mac/Pace Galleries at 91社区) is a continuation of multiple portfolio exchanges that the New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art has hosted over its illustrious history. The invitational supports three broad goals of the gallery; by acting as a vehicle to bring contemporary art from across the nation to a rural region of the United States; by highlighting the communal ideology of the city鈥檚 history by encouraging printmaking and the portfolio exchange format; and to help secure the future of New Harmony鈥檚 cultural legacy. This exhibit will feature works by over 30 artists currently living and working across 8 US States with ties and links to the Midwest region and Southwest Indiana in particular.
May 17-June 28, 2025 | "Transcendence" curated by Ventiko (Indianapolis, IN)

July 12-August 23, 2025 | "Liminal Worlds" curated by Kimi Kitada (Kansas City, MO)
Curated by Kimi Kitada, "Liminal Worlds" considers the hybrid, multicultural identities of Asian American artists in the Midwest region through the work of 7 artists. The featured artists work expansively across printmaking, sculpture, painting, and moving image, including works by: Heehyun Choi, Daeun Lim, Lisa Maione, William Plummer, Skye Taniai, Heinrich Toh, and Hope-Lian Vinson. Drawing on the cultural theory of Homi Bhabha鈥檚 concept of hybridity, the artists鈥� practices reference a multivocal, fluid, and unfixed notion of identity. Some of the selected artists grew up in the United States, while others immigrated to the U.S. at various moments in their artistic careers. Scholar Erika Lee posits, 鈥渨hat does it mean to be Asian American in the Midwest?鈥� This exhibition delves into that question by foregrounding the 鈥渋n-between鈥� spaces of cultural belonging and holding space for multiple identities at once.
