Brought One Dark Night Exhibit Opening

More information coming soon!

In a letter to an old friend, Jemima Mousseau described herself as one of three Menominee children taken at night to the North Union Shaker Village in Warrensville Township. Her remarkable life, uncovered through new historical research, reveals themes of movement, resilience, and the fluid nature of identity in 19th- and early 20th-century Ohio.

Brought One Dark Night will open November 2025 and share Jemima’s story in depth for the first time. The exhibition is supported in part by Cuyahoga Arts & Culture.

What if...Why not? — September 27, 2025 - February 15, 2026 

Cleveland artist Chi-Irena Wong invites viewers into a playful and absurd world where the illogical becomes ordinary. Through humorous “what if” scenarios—like grocery shopping in claw machines, wearing shoes as hats, or dining on lint-burgers—her work challenges perceptions of what is normal and what is absurd. Layered with quirky details and whimsical characters, the pieces reward active looking, sparking discovery and delight. Wong’s fantastical worlds encourage us to question our own reality with humor and curiosity, leaving space for joy, laughter, and the invention of our own silly possibilities.

What if...Why not? opens September 27 during AppleFest and will be on view through February 15, 2026. This exhibition is supported in part by residents of Cuyahoga County through a public grant from Cuyahoga Arts & Culture.
