From Yocum Institute for Arts Education
Yocum Institute for Arts Education is proud to present Sacred Space: A Group Show of Women Artists, a compelling new exhibition featuring the work of artists Kachina Leigh, Sara Miller, Karen Palcho, Pam Roule, Anna Schweigert, and Daniella Yacono. The exhibition will be on view in the Holleran Gallery from Friday, March 20, to Friday, April 24.
An opening reception will take place on Sunday, March 22, from 2-4 p.m., inviting the community to meet the artists and experience the exhibition firsthand.
Sacred Space brings together a diverse range of artistic voices and mediums — including textiles, printmaking, collage, oil painting, and abstract works — to explore the concept of sacred space. Inspired by the ancient tradition of the Red Tent, a place where women gathered to rest, give birth, menstruate, reflect, and commune, the exhibition honors the power of shared experience and collective care.
Through deeply personal and symbolic works, the participating artists reclaim the Red Tent as a site of creativity, resilience, and connection. At the heart of the exhibition is a Red Tent installation, inviting viewers to reflect on themes of sanctuary, transformation, and the enduring strength found in women-centered spaces.
“We’ve never done anything quite like this before,” said Nadia Pochan, Visual Arts Department Director at Yocum Institute for Arts Education. “With the ambitious task of bringing an installation in the space, we’re seeking to create an environment that goes beyond cliché.”
The Holleran Gallery at Yocum Institute is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. The gallery is closed on Sundays. Admission to the exhibition and the opening reception is free and open to the public.
