This year of exploring adaptations and our own adaptive natures will invite us to ask ourselves: What stays the same, and what must evolve in order to remain meaningful? What beliefs or habits must we let go of in order to transform ourselves and the world around us for good?
Events
Terri Parish McGaffin: Making the Mousetrap
August 11- October 3, 2025, Morrisey Gallery
This series of paintings were created from photos taken during rehearsals of Agatha Christie’s “The Mousetrap” at Sioux City’s Lamb Productions in November 2023. The actors in this much-loved play presented views of human interaction and expression. The paintings try to re-present this through color and shape.
