First Friday Artist Opening May 2nd 5:30 pm
des petits cambriolages
(little break-ins)
May 2- June 17
AV Légère is a multimedia and performance artist dedicated to reclaiming narratives and discovering new possibilities in what has been lost, forgotten, or rejected. Rooted in conceptual work, their practice interweaves photography, found objects, and repurposed materials to reveal metaphors that reframe reality. With a background in Media Studies, Theatre, and Psychology, Légère explores the interplay between materiality and memory through collage, photography, painting, and storytelling. Their upcoming exhibition, des petits cambriolages (little break-ins) opening May 2, 2025, is a photographic ramble through reclamation, perception, and loss.

Artist Happy Hour “My Thoughts Exactly” with Grace Little
Friday, March 14, 5:30-7:30pm
My work as a whole is created to be oasis-like, inviting viewers to explore the complexity that lies beyond the surface (of the painting). I find much inspiration in my spirituality & deep curiosity about the questions I have about life. Just like water flowing or trees rustling, the more we observe, the more we begin to recognize a “gentle complexity” in the way things are. This concept of “gentle complexity” is what I strive to express- the more you look, the more you become still, the more you notice. I then ask the question: is there a way for fine art to be of service to others? A way to slow down our minds and focus on the beauty & Word that has been so lovingly lavished on humankind. Every question simply a further invitation.
