Mimi Jung: An Unfinished Origin Exhibition
March 31, 2026 – June 27, 2026
Tuesday through Saturdays from 10am to 4pm, CLOSED Sunday, Monday

"Mimi Jung: An Unfinished Origin" brings together recent sculptural works from this Helena, Montana-based artist. The loom has long served as the foundation of her methodical and often labor-intensive process, where the slow creation of each piece allows for deliberate shaping and assessment over time. Using unexpected and unconventional materials like paper and foam as wefts, a variety of non-traditional strings as warps, as well as woven pieces cast in metal, the artist’s work rewards close inspection, asking us to slow down and engage reflectively.

Central to her concerns are the gaps between what we believe we know and what remains unknown, creating space for wonder, contemplation, and connection. Correspondingly, her woven forms are intentionally ambiguous and in a state of change. Their structures invite multiple interpretations appearing near completion, undergoing deconstruction, or suspended between concealment and exposure. Jung relates this fluidity to one’s own sense of evolving self.

“The core component of my work has always been identity and self-preservation,” says the artist. “It’s about how our narratives constantly evolve to fit into a much larger cultural narrative in order to survive.”

Faces of 250: Our Community in Portraits and Words
Dates: Showing May 15 – September 4, 2026
Opening Reception: May 15, 2026
Time: 4 – 7 p.m.
Location: Main Gallery
Art After Hours: Dahlia Paper Wreath
This exhibit showcases a striking collection of studio portraits done at Hilderbrand’s Photography Studio from the 1950s to 70s, capturing the style, optimism, and evolving identity of mid-century America. Each photograph offers a window into the era’s fashion, hairstyles, and cultural values, while highlighting the artistry of studio photography during a time when formal portraits were both a personal keepsake and a social statement. The exhibit invites viewers to reflect on how people chose to present themselves—and how those choices echo across generations

The individuals in these photographs lived in Moses Lake during a time of remarkable growth and transformation. The town was bustling with new industries, expanding neighborhoods, and fresh opportunities. Each person featured here made their way to Hilderbrand’s studio to sit for a portrait, perhaps for a passport, to commemorate a special occasion, to capture their children’s early years, or to send a keepsake to someone far away. After their session, they might have grabbed a bite at Elmer’s Cafe or shopped in the aisles at Dietzen’s Thriftway before returning to their farms, homes, or offices to get on with the work of building a town. In these portraits, we glimpse a quiet, intimate moment—faces from the past meeting our gaze, inviting us to learn their stories and understand the world they once knew.
