The Red Brick Center for the Arts concludes its 2026 summer season with a new exhibition titled Nearness. The gallery space at 110 E. Hallam St. will host the opening reception on August 13 from 5 to 7 p.m., offering the public an early look at this collection.
The exhibition features work from Jack Fox, Shelly Safir Marolt, and Shawna Miller. Each artist contributes portraits that examine personal identity, human memory, and the physical bonds between people. Through a mix of photography and painting, the show aims to prompt viewers to consider their own connections to those around them.
Sarah Roy, the executive director of the Red Brick Center for the Arts, stated that the collection serves as an invitation for guests to reflect on shared humanity. The curation focuses on the stories told through facial expressions and interpersonal relationships, emphasizing the emotional weight of portraiture.
Visitors can view the exhibition from August 13 through October 16. It serves as a final capstone to the arts center’s current summer programming. Those interested in further details about the installation or the artists involved can find more information on the official Red Brick website.
