Iterations of Hope is a group art exhibition exploring the many ways hope shows up in our lives.
Hope as a feeling.
Hope as a place.
Hope as something fragile, resilient, layered, or quietly persistent.

This exhibition brings together work by local artists, each responding to the question What is hope? through their own lens, medium, and lived experience. No single answer. No single definition. Just honest, thoughtful interpretations shared through art.

May 17th, closing reception, 1:30-3:30 PM

Local artists are answering a shared question — not with words, but with their work.
What is hope?
Where does it live?
How does it change?

This spring, Iterations of Hope will bring together a collection of artwork created by local artists, each offering their own reflection, interpretation, and response to this timeless question.

Saturday, April 18th, Iterations of Hope workshop, 1:30-3:30 PM

Iterations of Hope: A Community Workshop at The Arts Nest

As Iterations of Hope opens at The Arts Nest, you’re invited to step into your own interpretation of hope—whatever shape, color, or feeling it takes for you.

This workshop, led by artist Hope, offers a gentle, welcoming space to explore personal expression through simple creative techniques that anyone can do. No art background needed. No pressure to “make something good.” Just room to express, reflect, and create with light guidance and plenty of freedom.

Come settle in with fresh baked goods, tea, and coffee as you move at your own pace. Your artwork can remain completely personal, or—if you choose—you may contribute a piece to the evolving community installation that grows alongside the exhibit. Both options are welcomed and respected.

Think of this as a creative pause: a moment to breathe, make, connect, and explore what hope feels like to you.
