The group exhibition "Seriously?!" delves into how humor and satire serve as powerful tools for addressing complex societal issues. Throughout history, humor has been utilized to provide a unique lens through which we can examine and critique the world around us. From the Dadaist movement's playful irreverence during the chaos of World War I to the dark humor seen in contemporary pieces, satire in art challenges social conventions and encourages dialogue.

The exhibition features a diverse lineup of artists who skillfully use humor and satire to engage and provoke thought. Their works, spanning various media and styles, offer fresh perspectives on themes such as consumerism, environmental issues, and social justice.

Participating artists include Adam Palmer, Julia Curran, Dizzy Orbit, Kristin Moore, Vince Veazey, Cosmo Jones, Gerald Bell, Shasta Haubrich, Tatyana Alanis, Yeah Yeah Chloe, Christopher Nejara, Jodi Gerbi, Joshua Goode, Jay Wilkinson, Clay Stinnett, Mark Mayr, Chuck & George, Viktor Villaneuva, Max Marshall, and Bale Creek Allen.

Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on view through September 21.
