The evening will include music (taiko\, banjo\, and more)\, video\, dance\, poetry\, and “real live worms.” This entertaining evening will celebrate creativity\, discovery\, and an appreciation for nature and the Earth’s gifts. \nContributing artists include: Courtney and Matthew Ozaki-Durgin\, Drew Austin\, James Brunt\, Gwendolyn Gussman\, and Elizabeth Kirchmeier. \nImage credit: Gwendolyn Gussman\, Photo by Martha With Photography \nThe Wild Bloom is generously supported by Meow Wolf Denver.

DESCRIPTION:The Wild Bloom is an immersive\, three-night event series that transforms Union Hall’s gallery into a dynamic stage for interdisciplinary\, boundary-pushing work. \nOn any given night you might discover a performance blending movement with poetry\, an interactive improv group\, or an unexpected\, comedic guided meditation. By inviting audiences into participatory\, socially engaged performances\, The Wild Bloom deepens connection to the arts in a space designed for creative experimentation and cultural dialogue. \nPurchase tickets for a single evening or upgrade to ticket packages for bigger savings! \nNight 1 Lineup—May 16 (in no order)\n​Kevin Hoth—Corporate Corpus Body Scan Meditation: Kevin Hoth will guide participants through a present-focused body scan meditation. Attention will move methodically from the toes to the crown (which may require some deep cleaning). Along the way\, subtle obstructions—those that interfere with one’s capacity to function smoothly within established consumerist systems—may be observed and released. \nElle Hong & Josh Ware—10SHINS // LIMBSCAPE: A contact improvisation for two bodies that affirms/dissolves a subject’s boundaries\, both through riding/interrupting momentum and sensing self through contact with another. \nKenzie Sitterud—Post-it Note from Patriot: Kenzie will perform a patriotic flag-retiring ceremony\, drawing on their research of the Flag Code\, while engaging the audience with a syncopated Pledge of Allegiance and a National Anthem soundtrack. The performance will be a hyper-patriotic ceremony as commentary on who and what is defined by patriotism held in accordance with the flag code. \nThe Wild Bloom is generously supported by Meow Wolf Denver. Food and beverages are provided by Ratio Beerworks and Whole Foods Market. \nImage credit: Elle Hong and Josh Ware\, photo by From the Hip Photo.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk: Mosaics with Kristin Javier
DESCRIPTION:Kristin Javier will have an Artist Talk on Friday\, April 17th\, 2026\, 2pm about her new exhibition Mosaics: Into the Light. Snacks and beverages will be served. \nKristin’s Statement: \n“I speak in dialects of brokenness and light. Mosaic becomes a metaphor for restoration.\nMy practice is a dialogue between the visions in my mind\, the hammer\, and the stone.\nMy process is deeply rooted in ancient methods.\nI ask each tessera to break using only hand tools\, cutting each piece with a carbide tipped hammer and a pitched anvil called a hardie.\nI place each fragment directly into thinset tinted with earth oxides. I allow each shard to stand as its own sculpture\, possessing the power to reflect\, refract\, or absorb light.\nInitially self-taught using broken ceramic shards\, I eventually sought the rigor of Classical training at Studio Arte del Mosaico in Ravenna Italy and The Chicago Mosaic School.\nMy work is an exploration of the mystical\, and a manifestation of the resilience of the human spirit.\nEvery Mosaic created over the past six years represents a step in my healing journey toward the light.”

SUMMARY:Book Launch: Native Genes
DESCRIPTION:Ryle Yazzie is a Dine artist\, a veteran\, and currently a graduate student at the Institute of American Indian Arts. Native Genes\, Summer 2025 catalogs a pop-up art installation of used jeans sourced from the Navajo Reservation and from local flea markets in Window Rock\, Shiprock\, Gallup and Yah-Ta-hey areas. As part of the work\, Yazzie took a series of self-portraits of himself wearing the jeans—sometimes too big and sometimes just right—and documents the stories of hardship and determination told through the fabrics wearing and natural patina. Putting the used jeans in conversation with himself and in the context of a high-art photo catalog\, the book asks the viewer to consider our obsession with authenticity\, along with the age-old question; what makes something the real deal\, or just a knockoff. This catalog and the installation was inspired by James Luna’s performance\, Take a picture with a Real Indian. \nNative Genes by Ryle Yazzie. Authentically American* before America. \nThe book launch is in conjunction with Yazzie’s MFA thesis at the Institute for American Indian Arts and will feature a gallery show exhibiting artworks derived from the book. Native Genes & limited edition Riso prints on display and for sale. $35.00 per book. \nFree tamales and refreshments will be provided.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception\, Mosaics: Into the Light
DESCRIPTION:Reception with the artist on Fri\, April 10th from 5pm-8pm. \nArtist Bio\nKristin Javier is perhaps an unlikely artist. Born in the Appalachian Mountains of Kentucky\, her childhood was shaped by life outdoors—hiking wooded hills\, racing barefoot through grass\, and searching creek beds for fossils alongside her five siblings. \nHer path led her to the University of New Mexico\, where she studied education and Spanish and Italian translation. Though she once felt rooted in the Land of Enchantment\, life eventually called her back East. After decades away\, she has returned to New Mexico\, completing a full-circle journey to the place that first inspired her. \nBetween 2017 and 2018\, while raising two daughters\, a life-altering brain infection forced her to rebuild her life step by step. During this difficult recovery\, she discovered the healing power of art. With support from family\, friends\, and a vibrant creative community\, she has committed to a daily mosaic practice for the past six years. A devoted student of the medium\, Kristin continues to explore what she has yet to understand\, guided by faith and the belief that every person carries a unique light. \nToday\, she divides her time between Northern New Mexico’s high desert and New York’s Hudson Valley\, weaving both landscapes into her work. \nArtist Statement\nI speak in dialects of brokenness and light; mosaic becomes a metaphor for restoration. My practice is a dialogue between vision\, hammer\, and stone\, rooted in ancient methods. \nEach tessera is shaped by hand using a carbide-tipped hammer and hardie. Set into tinted thinset\, every fragment stands as its own sculpture\, reflecting\, refracting\, or absorbing light. \nTrained in Ravenna\, Italy\, and Chicago\, my work explores the mystical and embodies resilience—each piece a step toward healing and light.
