PEACE TALKS
The Crown Gallery at Metro Arts Studios is proud to present Peace Talks, a juried in all mediums, invites artists and viewers alike to reflect on the many dimensions of peace — personal, political, spiritual, and environmental. The title is both literal and metaphorical. Peace Talks references the formal negotiations between nations or opposing forces, but it also evokes quiet conversations, collective or individual protest, internal reckonings, and the soft language of reconciliation. the exhibit centers on the idea of dialogue: between cultures, between generations, and within the self.
Participating artists include:
Nancy Bardach, Roy Cacek, Manal Deeb, Charles Douthat, Susan Dumas, Charlotte Easterling, Barry Jordan, Vince Quevedo, Margaret Roleke, Suzanna Schlemm, Rosalind Shaffer, Susan L Smith, Jeff Smudde, Susan Taylor Murray, and Joan Wheeler

FEATURED ARTIST
Opening Reception: Sunday, September 7, 1 to 3 PM
Exhibit runs from August 9 to September 20, 2025
Metro Art Studios is delighted to have an exhibit of the work of Jennifer Moné Hill as Featured Artist, starting August 9. Though abstract in form, Jennifer's work is deeply inspired by nature, especially water. The flowing quality of her materials mirrors the rhythms and unpredictability of waves, rain, rivers, and currents. From a distance, the pieces appear bold and graphic, but stepping closer reveals intricate details, subtle textures, and unexpected moments of depth and delicacy. Beneath the Surface explores the relationship between movement, fluidity, and the interaction of color.
