Upcoming Events

GEAG Members in Action

GEAG member Shada Vega has 5 pieces on display at the Edwardsville Public Library. The dates of the exhibit are from September 04, 2025, to January 2026. These pieces are available for purchase.

I am a part of the “Rooted in Nature” gallery show at Green Root Gallery. Opening reception is Sept. 05, 4 – 7 pm and runs till November 02.

Soulard Art Gallery’s Politically Incorrect Correct show, from August 8 to September 12, 2025, features an artwork by Paula Homan. The mixed media piece is based on quotes and visual references to William Golding’s Lord of the Flies, addressing tribalism, the battle to be the strongest voice, and how power slips or flips with unexpected consequences. The position of chief is precariously held only as long as favorable circumstances allow. Mob mentality can undercut a chief’s rule with chaotic and deadly results.
