Spring is a season of renewal, light, and transformation. "Awakening: A Celebration of Light and Renewal" showcases artwork that captures the essence of this time of year—when nature awakens, colors brighten, and life flourishes. Through a variety of artistic mediums, this exhibit reflects themes of growth, joy, and connection, reminding us of the beauty found in new beginnings. As we move through this season, we also acknowledge the nurturing energy that helps all things thrive, making space for creativity, love, and renewal.

The Unity Center Art Gallery is dedicated to celebrating the transformative power of art. Our mission is to create an inclusive environment that fosters reflection, inspiration, and connection. We believe in art's unique ability to educate, inspire, heal, and bridge diverse communities, and we are committed to providing a welcoming space for all.

The Unity Center Art Gallery is open to members, friends, and the broader community. We take pride in its quality and uniqueness, offering a space where art enriches and connects us all.

“The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.”

— Pablo Picasso

  • December 1 through December 29

    Artist Julie Weaverling's, "Lift the Sky" project was born of a need for a counterpoint to, and respite from, inevitable and constant bad news confronting the world. Artists answer the question, “what’s your message to the world?” then create art on 18”x24” pieces of muslin, canvas or other material which is then sewn into hanging panels. Artists from 14 countries responded with universal positive expressions in words and art as declarations of hope with messages of caring for the earth and the human family. Lift the Sky invites the viewer to see and hear themself while walking through the broader singular voice of many artists. 

    Each exhibit will feature different art panels.
