• New Exhibition At Through the Flower Art Space

    In honor of Holocaust Remembrance Day we are announcing Through the Flower Art Space's next exhibition "The Holocaust Project and the Legacy of Genocide" on view May 4, 2023 - December 2023.

    The exhibition will consist of illustrated panels that document Judy Chicago and Donald Woodman’s harrowing journey into the darkness of the Holocaust and out into the light of hope along with selected works from the "Holocaust Project". This show is intended to raise important questions about the human capacity for evil and how to work for change in a world that seems increasingly dark.
