'Open-Hearted'
Presented by Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College at Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College Colorado Springs, CO
Open-Hearted Holaday and Seagraves Galleries Open-Hearted examines the history, meaning, and contemporary realities of health care and well-being. Moving beyond the individualistic framework of “self-care,” the exhibition reframes wellness as a collective project—one that necessitates an expansion of public health infrastructures across many levels of society. This framing emphasizes, as writer Corrine Fitzpatrick suggests, that “health is always in relation to power.” While the title evokes a sensibility of kindness (and by extension, the ideal capacities of health care to be preventative, diagnostic, and/or relieving), it also suggests an invasive medical procedure, thereby drawing a connection to the risk and vulnerability inherent in both. Featuring works made between 1986 to 2025—a period framed by two significant epidemics, AIDS and COVID-19—the show features a variety of media, including design, weaving, sculpture, video, and installation, that explore our medical system’s forms, objects, spaces, and communication systems. Some works advocate for increased access to vital life-saving information and for an expansion of public health resources led by disability, chronic illness, and neurodiversity activism. Others investigate how physical space invites or inhibits access, demonstrating how architecture can engender both care and control. Finally, the show will also feature works that critically engage with the history of medical research, shedding light on the violence and harm perpetuated by the medical system and its infrastructure throughout time. Artists featured in the exhibition include: MG Bernard, Gregg Bordowitz, Melissa Cody, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Ben Gould, Xandra Ibarra, Kapwani Kiwanga, Jade Guanaro Kuriki-Olivo, Carolyn Lazard, Kate Leonard, Ani Liu, Jordan…

'Between the Land and Sky'
Presented by UCCS Galleries of Contemporary Art at Ent Center for the Arts Colorado Springs, CO
Between the Land and Sky Karla García 2025 F.E.A.R.S Artist Reflecting on past works, García reimagine a landscape composed of recycled ceramic grasses, concrete blocks, and terra cotta cacti sculptures. The glazed surfaces of the cacti evoke a starry night sky embedded in their forms, drawing connections between the cosmos and sacred land. This body of work merges myth and material. García continue her reflections on the exiled desert goddess Malinalxochitl and the poetry of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz—voices that shape stories across time and space. In this terrain, the cacti become sacred beings, and the grasses act as connective tissue: linking the land beneath to ourselves, to the sky above. García’s process remains grounded in traditional hand-building techniques, yet the forms appear to shrink, expand, and shift like breath or memory. Through these gestures, she invite viewers to pause and consider the landscape not as backdrop, but as a living record of resilience, transformation, and sacred connection. VACS: Karla García 2025 F.E.A.R.S. Artist Description Karla García is the 2025 Female Emerging Artists Residency Series (F.E.A.R.S.) artist. This residency series is an experimental program that invites artists early in their professional careers to UCCS to participate in a residency, solo-exhibition, and academic classes. F.E.A.R.S. is now a collaborative initiative between the UCCS Visual Arts Department (VAPA) and GOCA. Karla García (1977, Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico) is a Texas-based artist originally from Mexico. Her ceramic sculptural installations are rooted in her Mexican heritage and informed by personal and cultural memory, historical…

'Space in Between + CARE'
Presented by Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College at Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College Colorado Springs, CO
Margarita Cabrera: Space in Between + CARE Artist Margarita Cabrera collaborates with local communities to encourage conversations about migration, labor, border politics, food justice, and other social issues. At the Fine Arts Center, Cabrera presents two ongoing projects that connect our local communities to broader social issues. The Space in Between (2010–ongoing) are soft sculptures of plants native to the Southwest region, including cacti, aloe vera, and agave, made from fabric sourced from US Border Patrol uniforms. Cabrera will lead workshops with members of the local Colorado Springs community who have personal or family connection with immigration to construct and embroider the plants. The embroidery—in a style inspired in part by Indigenous Mexican folk art and craft traditions—includes phrases and symbols that hold significance for the participants. The exhibition features the newly commissioned sculptures, created during the workshop in Colorado Springs, adding local and personal experiences to the presentation. In the adjacent gallery, Cabrera’s CARE (2021–ongoing) builds on Cabrera’s recent collaboration with Ollin Farms to explore food sustainability, justice, and access in Colorado. The installation includes a series of ceramic spoons and will culminate in a feast performance in November 2025.
