Charlene Will: Here for a While
PENCE GALLERY. View a solo exhibit by Charlene Will, the recipient of the 2025 Pence Gallery Emerging Artist Award. Her work is rooted in a reverence for nature. Working with oils on canvas, she uses traditional and self-taught brushwork, glazes, and the removal of layers to reveal the ephemeral qualities of light and color found in various natural ecosystems. 11:30a—5p.

Manuel Fernando Rios: When They Reminisce Over You
